Prof Konstantinos Donas (St Franziskus Hospital, DE) meets with Prof Frank Vermassen (University of Ghent, BE) and Dr Gergana Taneva (University Hospital Ramón y Cajal, ES) to discuss the latest results from his 5-year, real-world study: Evaluating long-term mortality of matched patients with intermittent claudication treated by high-dose paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty (PCBA) versus plain balloon angioplasty (POBA). 

Highlights of this short 10-min roundtable include; a discussion on the use of paclitaxel and its impact on mortality, an overview of the real-world study results vs related randomised control studies and the impact these have on a surgeon's daily practice, as well as a discussion around treatment strategies and the importance of further studies in this field of medicine.
