Why the study?

Does a dual stent of nitinol and fluoropolymers improve patency and limb salvage in patients with critical limb ischemia and popliteal artery lesions after angioplasty failure?

Structured PICO

Does a dual stent of nitinol and fluoropolymers improve patency and limb salvage in patients with critical limb ischemia and popliteal artery lesions after angioplasty failure?

P

Population

19 patients (mean age 77.4 years, 42.1% male) with critical limb ischemia (Rutherford-Baker grade 3-5) requiring stenting in the popliteal artery due to primary angioplasty failure (arterial dissection, re-stenosis, or recoil).

I

Intervention

Dual stent of nitinol and fluoropolymers impregnated with heparin (TIGRIS) deployed in the popliteal artery.

O

Outcome

Primary patency, secondary patency, limb salvage, and mortality evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months.hard clinical

Dual nitinol-fluoropolymer stenting in the popliteal artery after failed angioplasty demonstrates high patency and limb salvage rates at 1 year in patients with critical limb ischemia.

Limitations

Retrospective design
Limited sample size

Implication

Level 5 evidence on vascular disease leaves open key questions; prospective trials needed before practice change.

Abstract

Angiología es una revista científica bimensual editada desde 1949. Está dedicada al estudio de las enfermedades vasculares, incluyendo todos los aspectos de la medicina vascular, el diagnóstico no invasivo, el tratamiento quirúrgico tradicional arterial y venoso, así como el mínimamente invasivo y/o endovascular.
