Acute infection of Viabahn stent graft in the popliteal artery
Peripheral stents are increasingly used for treatment of peripheral arterial disease, yet all implanted devices are potentially at risk for infection. We describe a 51-year-old man who underwent stenting in the femoropopliteal artery and presented 3 days later with leg pain, fever, and evidence of peripheral stigmata of embolization. Blood cultures grew methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aure...
متن کاملStent fractures after superficial femoral artery stenting
Stent fracture is one of the major factors compromising implanted stent patency due to its consequences including in-stent restenosis, thrombosis, perforation, and migration. Stent fracture can occur from stress (extrinsic or intrinsic) and biomechanical forces at different implantation sites. We report on 2 cases of stent fractures and pertinent literature. One patient, a 75-year-old male, pre...
متن کاملIn-stent restenosis in the superficial femoral artery.
As the number of endovascular peripheral arterial interventions is increasing nationwide, so is the rate of observed in-stent restenosis, specifically in the superficial femoral artery. A paucity of literature is available regarding the pathophysiology, risk factors, and therapies associated with in-stent restenosis of the superficial femoral artery. This article summarizes the accumulated know...
متن کاملThe Treatment of Superficial Femoral Artery In-Stent Restenosis
T he treatment decision for in-stent restenosis (ISR) involving the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is complex. Important clinical issues include the problem (intimal hyperplasia inside a minimally expandable metal stent), the natural history (persistent claudication with low risk of limb loss), and the treatment alternatives to alter the natural history (exercise, bypass surgery, or catheter-...
متن کاملObtaining a superficial femoral artery graft in adolescents and children with the deep femoral artery transposition.
A new technique to obtain a segment of the superficial femoral artery as an arterial conduit in young patients while an unobstructed peripheral blood flow is maintained by superficial femoral artery-deep femoral artery transposition is illustrated with two clinical examples. The explanted arterial autograft requires no replacement by another graft and provides a conduit of up to 10 cm in length...
