Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), in which a balloon is advanced and inflated in the obstructed artery for several seconds to minutes, has become the standard endovascular treatment for peripheral arteries. The long-term success of bare balloon PTA in the fem-oropopliteal segment is hampered by the occurrence of restenosis, which can be reduced by local antiproliferative drug delivery via the PTA balloon catheter. The rationale of this study is based on the hypothesis that the usage of the Sirolimus-coated Magic Touch Sirolimus DCB is at least equal (non-inferior) with regards to efficacy and safety in comparison with a clinically well-established PTX coated balloon. The objective of this prospective, randomized, multi-center, post-market study is to compare the Magic Touch Sirolimus DCB with Paclitaxel-coated DCB for treatment of high grade ste-notic or occluded lesions in SFA and / or P1 segment of the popliteal artery (PA) in PAD pa-tients.
