%X We investigated the relationship of postoperative neutrophil¨Clymphocyte ratio (NLR) with 6-month primary patency of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in femoropopliteal disease using drug-coated balloon (DCB) or uncoated balloon (UCB). This retrospective study included 106 patients who received DCB (n = 44) or UCB (n = 62). The postoperative NLR was lower in the DCB group than that in the UCB group (2.60 vs 3.23; P = .004), and 6-month primary patency rate was significantly higher in DCB group than that in the UCB group (77.3% vs 53.2%; P = .011). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the postoperative NLR was an independent predictor of 6-month primary patency after PTA in patients with femoropopliteal disease (odds ratio: 1.589, 95% confidence interval: 1.078-2.343; P = .019). The cutoff value of postoperative NLR was 3.05 for prediction of 6-month primary patency, with a sensitivity of 64.1% and specificity of 65.7%. The 6-month primary patency rate in the NLR ¡Ü3.05 group was higher than that in the NLR >3.05 group (75.9% vs 47.9%; P = .003). In conclusion, DCB may improve early primary patency by inhibiting inflammation. A higher postoperative NLR was associated with early restenosis
