Midterm Result of Endovascular Treatment for Popliteal Artery Lesions

Abstract

Since a popliteal artery is located at the joint site, there is a possibility of stent fracture. As there is also a possiblity of vascular anastomosis when bypassing, the area is referred as non-stenting zone. Furthermore, Asians frequently sit with their knees bent deeply, and there is not much evidence. Here, we have evaluated the clinical results of 18 months of endovascular treatment for popliteal artery.
