Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of infrainguinal arteries has been frequently reported in the literature. Independent of the technical feasibility, the results, in short-and long-term follow-up differ among published series. The objective of this article was to assess the long-term results of angioplasty in small, (<3 cm) segmental lesions of the superficial femoral artery treated with primary stenting. Eighteen patients (12 men, 6 women) with lesions of the superficial femoral artery smaller than 3 cm were selected for endovascular treatment and follow-up. The median patient age was 65 years (range, 54 to 84). The indication for treatment was intermittent claudication in 7 patients and critical ischemia (ischemic pain associated with trophic lesions) in 11 patients (62%). Of these, 13 lesions were stenoses and 5 total occlusions. The run-off was good in 15 patients who had more than 2 distal arteries and 3 had only 1 patent artery. During follow-up, all patients were observed with physical examination, progressive exercise treadmill test; pulse volume was measured with Doppler and duplex scan after 1, 3, and 6 months, and then twice a year. There was only 1 primary failure; the initial success rate was 94%. During follow-up of 40 months (6 to 70 months), only 1 patient presented with thrombosis of the stent 6 months after the procedure. There was no symptomatic restenosis in our study. One patient suffered an acute myocardial infraction after 45 months and died. The primary patency after 1 and 3 years was 88%. No patient was lost to follow-up. Primary stenting of segmental lesions (less than 3 cm) of the superficial femoral artery produced satisfactory results immediately and during long-term follow-up.

“…It is known that in small arteries the stent induces more intimal hyperplasia than PTA alone. For this reason some authors believe that stenting in the treatment of CSSS remains an unsolved problem since the role of intimal hyperplasia in the long-term clinical course of these patients has not been resolved [16,22].…”

Coronary-subclavian steal syndrome: treatment with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stent placement

et al. 1999

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting in the management of the coronary-subclavian steal syndrome (CSSS). A 56-year-old man presented with CSSS due to occlusion of the left subclavian artery. He was treated with PTA and placement of two stents in the left subclavian artery. Systolic blood pressure became equal in both arms and dizziness disappeared. There were no complications. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting can effectively and safely manage CSSS.

“…Vascular stents may induce intimal hyperplasia, but do so more often in smaller vessels [18]. The long-term results of PTA and stent placement for subclavian artery occlusions, however, are not yet known, due to the small number of patients treated and the short followup periods.…”

A 66-year-old man presented with bilateral subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) due to proximal subclavian artery occlusions. He was treated by percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty (PTA) and stent implantation in the left subclavian artery and by PTA alone in the right subclavian artery. We could demonstrate that interventional treatment of symptomatic bilateral SSS is possible. If PTA alone is insufficient, stent implantation should be considered.
