ICI 2019: Multiyear Tissue Retention of Paclitaxel is Driven by Lesion Complexity: Insights from Experimentally Grounded Computational Modeling

Tzafriri AR. “Multiyear Tissue Retention of Paclitaxel is Driven by Lesion Complexity: Insights from Experimentally Grounded Computational Modeling“ A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials investigating paclitaxel-coated balloons and stents in femoropopliteal arteries reported increased mortality risk 2-5 years after treatment, with no causal mechanism. We developed an experimentally grounded computational model to identify scenarios […]
