Impact of Cardiac Function on Loss of Patency in Patients With Peripheral Artery Disease Presenting the Femoropopliteal Lesions Endovascularly Treated With New-Generation Devices
Abstract:Purpose: The current study sought to investigate the impact of cardiac condition on loss of patency after endovascular therapy (EVT) using new-generation devices for femoropopliteal (FP) lesions. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 547 lesions (chronic limb-threatening ischemia: 44%, TASC II C/D lesion: 61%, chronic total occlusion: 37%, in-stent restenosis: 13%, involving popliteal arterial lesion: 45%) belonging to 416 patients (average age: 75±9 years, male: 69%, diabetes mellitus: 62%, hemodi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
