Abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusive disease (ASO) and its effect on the ultrasonographic parameters of the affected limb. A total of 120 lower limb ASO patients were divided into an observation group (n=58) and a control group (n=62). The observation group was treated with intracavitary drug balloon and the control group was treated with ordinary balloon, the levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-16 (IL-16) and SF-36 and so on were observed. At 24 hours after operation, CRP, High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), IL-6 and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), while nitric oxide (NO) was significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The scores of ankle brachial index (ABI), ultrasonic parameters of affected limband SF-36 in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group 12 months after operation (P<0.05). The restenosis rate and late lumen loss (LLL) of target vessels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Endovascular drug balloon has a good effect in the treatment of lower extremity ASO, improves affected limb function and the quality of life, reduces the inflammatory reaction of patients.
