Late outcomes of balloon angioplasty and angioplasty with selective stenting for superficial femoral-popliteal disease are equivalent

Abstract: Stenting resulted in equivalent long-term outcomes compared to POBA when stratified by indications. However, stenting yielded statistically better primary patency in patients with TASC II C & D lesions. The lack of improved clinical outcomes and significantly higher cost of stenting supports a posture of selective use of stents (especially in TASC II A & B) in the endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal occlusive disease.

“…This means that lower limb revascularization and salvation, even for a limited amputation-free survival period, should be recognized as a worthwhile and cost-effective procedure, which is supported by other authors [5,[9][10][11][12][13]. The resource expenditure linked with endovascular procedures might be further decreased by the selective use of stents and other expensive devices [9,14]. The other potential way to reduce resource utilization in patients with lower limb ischemia is the recommendation of appropriate pharmacotherapy in accordance with the requirements for the prevention of secondary cardiovascular disorders and supervised exercise training in patients with intermittent claudication (not with CLI), which appear to be more cost-effective in such disease advancement than endovascular revascularization [15].…”

“…10 Stenting is appropriate for complex lesions and as a 'bailout' procedure after complications of balloon angioplasty, or recoil after balloon dilatation, and the outcome with stenting is superior to balloon angioplasty alone. 6,7,11 We did not give preference to any specific stent, and a single stent was preferred in order to cover the entire lesion; multiple stents were however deployed if necessary.…”

“…4 Vascular surgeons have become more experienced with catheter-based technology and due to the minimal invasiveness of the procedure, both patients and vascular surgeons are increasingly attracted to endovascular procedures. Mwipatayi et al 5 and Nguyen et al 6 found stenting resulted in equivalent outcomes when compared to balloon angioplasty alone, but Laird et al 7 found that self-expanding nitinol stents were associated with better angiographic results and improved patency compared with balloon angioplasty alone.…”

“…Long segment and more extensive peripheral arterial disease demonstrate poorer outcome following PTA with a restenosis rate above 70% in the first year [4]. There are improved clinical outcomes and patency with bare nitinol (NiTi) stent (BNS) placement in comparison to balloon PTA alone [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. However, intimal hyperplasia particularly on either end of the stent graft represents a pathological challenge to this treatment which eventually leads to disease recurrence (restenosis) [12].…”
