“…A previous study demonstrated that using primary stents as the first treatment option in femoropopliteal lesions yielded superior outcomes as compared to PTA alone, because of the elastic recoil, residual stenosis, and dissection that occurs in moderate/long-length lesions. 17,18 In our context, which involved only TASC II D femoropopliteal lesions, there was no significant difference in TLR and primary patency between groups who underwent PTA only and those who received stents. This may be related to the shorter length lesions in the PTA group (23.2 ± 2.6) than in the stent group (28.3 ± 4.3, P = 0.004).…”

“…40,41 Moreover, drugeluting technology has been associated with significantly reduced restenosis and limited need for TLR, [42][43][44][45] with several trials investigating DCBs vs other endovascular technologies showing a clear benefit of DCB vs balloon dilation alone. 46,47 Although it still remains unclear what impact paclitaxel could have on long-term outcomes of endovascular therapy, a recent FDA update 48 recommended the use of paclitaxel-coated devices in populations at high risk for restenosis and repeat femoropopliteal interventions, 5,24,[49][50][51][52] as their use might outweigh the risk of late mortality.…”
Purpose: To report the 3-year results of the LIBERTY 360 study, which investigated outcomes of endovascular treatment of symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). Materials and Methods: The LIBERTY trial ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01855412) was a prospective, observational, core laboratory–assessed, multicenter study of endovascular interventions enrolling >1200 participants treated at 51 sites. Data from 1189 patients were stratified according to Rutherford category (RC) and analyzed [RC 2-3 (n=500), RC 4-5 (n=589), and RC 6 (n=100)]. The primary outcomes were major amputation of the target limb and all-cause death; secondary outcomes were target vessel revascularization (TVR) or target lesion revascularization (TLR); major adverse events (MAEs; death within 30 days, TVR or TLR, and major amputation); death or major amputation combined; and change in self-reported quality of life (QoL) measures (VascuQol-25). The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method was employed to estimate the outcomes; estimates are presented with the 95% confidence intervals (CI). Predictors of 3-year MAE, death, TVR, and major amputation were analyzed using Cox proportional hazard regression modeling. Results: The 36-month KM survival rates were 86.0% in RC 2-3, 79.8% in RC 4-5, and 62.0% in RC 6 groups. The KM estimates of freedom from major amputation at 36 months were 98.5% in RC 2-3, 94.0% in RC 4-5, and 79.9% in RC 6. The 36-month KM estimates for freedom from TVR/TLR were 71.1% in RC 2-3, 64.2% in RC 4-5 and 61.9% in RC 6 groups. Patients with claudication at baseline were at lower risk for MAEs compared with RC 4-5 and RC 6 patients during the 36-month follow-up. Vascular QoL improved from baseline and persisted up to 36 months in all patients. Conclusion: Endovascular therapy is a viable treatment option for patients with symptomatic PAD, with sustained improved quality of life in both claudicants and patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia. These results provide important point estimates for midterm outcomes after modern endovascular interventions for PAD.

Aim. To compare the effectiveness of superficial femoral artery (SFA) stenting with/without lamina vastoadductoria dissection.Material and methods. The study included are 70 patients with TASCII type C and D lesions. All patients were divided onto 2 groups: group 1 (n=35) — conventional SFA stenting, group 2 (n=35) — SFA stenting with lamina vastoadductoria dissection. The average lesion length in group 1 was 22,92±5,62 cm, in group 2 — 21,2±5,42 cm. The primary endpoint was the absence of binary restenosis and reocclusion. Secondary composite endpoint was procedural success, limb salvage, secondary patency of the operated segment, intraoperative complications. The groups were comparable in age, sex, risk factors and comorbidities.Results. The procedural success in both groups was 100%. Primary patency after 24 months was 28,5% in group 1 and 60% in group 2. During the 24-month follow-up period, we recorded 1 death in group 2 due to myocardial infarction. In group 1, 2 deaths due to myocardial infarction and pancreatic cancer metastasis were recorded. Limb salvage was 100% in both groups. There were no intraoperative complications in both groups.Conclusion. Lamina vastoadductoria dissection is safe and does not lead to limb functional limitations. Biomechanical changes in the distal SFA segment contribute to the improvement of primary patency after stenting of SFA long lesions. Preliminary results of the single-center pilot study demonstrate the safety and efficacy of SFA stenting with lamina vastoadductoria dissection, emphasizing the need for further larger studies to compare it with conventional stenting and to assess the effectiveness during the long-term follow-up.
