Abstract: We performed percutaneous transluminal intervention in 20 consecutive patients (21 limbs) with common femoral artery (CFA) lesions causing symptomatic limb ischemia. In 12 limbs, concurrent additional percutaneous intervention proximal or distal to the target CFA lesion was performed. Angiographic success was obtained in 100%, with procedural success (angiographic success without a major in-hospital complications) in 90% and clinical success (procedural success and in-hospital improvement by at least one Fonta… Show more

“…Concerning the percutaneous approaches to atherosclerotic CFA lesions, data are even scarcer, with only a few retrospective series-the largest including 27 patientspublished so far (7,8). However, thanks to modern endovascular equipment and techniques, the successful treatment of a growing number of TASC II D lesions is now possible (13), and this trend associated with our favorable results suggests that CFA stenosis may reasonably be treated with an endovascular approach first.…”

“…Another important issue is that 70.7% of the patients (227 of 321) had a combined revascularization procedure, thus not allowing isolation of the CFA revascularization effect. For this reason, this paper, similar to most of the published CFA series, does not include any clinical efficacy parameters (e.g., ABI, claudication class) and is focused only on the technical feasibility, safety, and 1-year patency and revascularization rates (3,7,8).…”

“…3,4 This study differs in that functional outcomes were evaluated separately in claudicants and critical limb ischemia patients. Our results suggest that provisional stenting of the CFA is a reasonable clinical option.…”

“…We reported a procedural success rate of 95% of 20 patients, with improvement of the ABI from 0.54Ϯ0.21 to 0.82Ϯ0.18 after the procedure (Pϭ0.0002). 47 At almost 1-year of follow-up (11.4Ϯ6 months), there was improvement by at least 1 Rutherford class in 90% of the patients, and the ABI improvement was sustained (0.79Ϯ0.18). The eventfree survival rate was 90%, and the rate of freedom from amputation and target-vessel revascularization was 95%.…”
