Abstract
Objective To evaluate endovascular stenting for TASC TASC Ⅱ C/D femoropopliteal arterial disease. Methods Between January 2008 and June 2011, Endovascular treatments of 51 limbs TASC Ⅱ C/I） femoropopliteal artery occlusions in 46 patients（27 male and 19 female） were retrospectively reviewed. Mean age was （70 ± 8 ） years （ range, 52 years to 88 years）. Severe intermittent claudication, rest pain, minor tissue defect and foot ulceration or gangrene were in 29 limbs, 12 limbs,6 limbs and 4 limbs, respectively. Technical success rate, ankle brachial index （ABI）, complication rate, and cumulative primary patency rate were evaluated. Results Technical success rate was 90. 2%. 93 stents were placed in 46 limbs of the 42 patients. Postoperative ABI was increased in all patients. 42 patients（46 lower limbs） were followed up for a mean period of 14. 6 months. Primary, assisted-primary, and cumulative patency rates at 6 months were 81.0%, 88. 1% and 90.5%. Primary, assisted-primary, and cumulative patency rates at 12 months were 66. 7% ,71.8% and 79.5% respectively. Conclusions Endovascular treatment of TASC Ⅱ C/D femoropopliteal arterial lesions is microinvasive, safe and effective.
