This issue of EuroIntervention brings you a State-of-the-Art on drug-eluting devices for the treatment of lower limb peripheral artery disease, with a special focus on the safety of those devices currently in use. In original research, there are articles on the treatment and outcomes of endovascular therapy for femoropopliteal disease; acute limb ischaemia after femoropopliteal stent thrombosis; the imaging substudy from the BIOMAG-I first-in-human study of a novel resorbable scaffold; the impact of lesion morphology on stent elongation; a viewpoint on using a myocardial infarction-like approach in treating pulmonary embolisms. There is also a EuroIntervention debate on the pros and cons of IVUS vs OCT for PCI guidance; news from the EAPCI; and more...
