Article Abstract

This special series on 'health and internal displacement' is concerned primarily with the health needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in conflict contexts. Curated by editors from the recently established Health and Internal Displacement Network (HIDN), the series brings together a selection of thirteen new research articles from among many submitted in response to an open call for papers by HIDN and the . The aims of this series are to increase engagement with the health needs of IDPs and to support research, policy and programming in this relatively neglected area. The series focuses on IDP health but is not prescriptive in terms of health conditions, age groups, geographic region, or camp or urban setting, and reflects the diversity of IDP populations, contexts and needs.

Background: Limited treatment options exist for infrapopliteal disease in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a condition associated with a high risk of limb loss. Interventional management of diseased infrapopliteal vessels with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is associated with high rates of restenosis and reintervention. In the LIFE-BTK trial, the drug-eluting resorbable scaffold (DRS) demonstrated superior 12-month efficacy compared with PTA in a selected CLTI population with predominantly noncomplex, mildly to moderately calcified lesions.
