“…3) [9][10][11]. Recently, this new type of endoprosthesis has been used in peripheral occlusive arterial disease as well as for the treatment of peripheral arterial aneurysms [9][10][11]. The struts of the graft are formed with a series of longitudinal zigzags and are not covered at the ends over a few millimeters.…”

In a 74-year-old woman, a Dacron-covered Cragg endoprosthesis was implanted into the left superficial femoral artery after successful recanalization of a 6-cm-long occlusion. At 4.5 months after discharge the endoprosthesis was occluded. In order to perform a thrombectomy, an Amplatz thrombectomy device (ATD) was activated and advanced into the occluded graft. Suddenly, a mechanical failure of the ATD occurred. Extraction of the ATD was achieved only after repeated attempts at rotating motion and jerky pullback maneuvers. The most likely explanation is that one of the graft-struts had advanced into the tip of the ATD and resulted in a broken drive shaft. Recanalization was completed by performing percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and pharmacological thrombolysis with recombinant human-tissue plasminogen activator. In conclusion, users of the ATD have to be aware of interactions of the ATD with the struts of implanted stents or grafts during thrombectomy.

“…Some authors have also used stent grafts for the treatment of iliac lesions despite the good results of noncovered stents in the treatment of iliac stenoses and obstructions.

“…Only a few reports deal with stent graft implantation in iliac artery occlusive disease. [21][22][23][24] Henry et al treated 10 iliac occlusions and 27 iliac stenoses with the Cragg Endopro system (mean lesion length 5.2 cm and 9.4 cm, respectively). Follow-up angiography was done in 27 patients at 4 to 6 months and revealed a primary and secondary patency rate of 97% and 100%, respectively.…”

“…After a mean follow-up of 6 months, the primary patency was 80%. 21 The reported results contained only 10 occlusions 22 and are at best midterm results. Henry et al were the first to use the Corvita Endoluminal Graft in 21 patients suffering from occlusive disease of the iliac and femoropopliteal arteries.…”

“…The major limitations of the studies dealing with stent grafts in iliac lesions are the small number of cases, especially in terms of occlusions, compared to studies using noncovered stents as well as the short observation period. 21,22,26 There are still no reliable data indicating that stent grafts are an alternative to noncovered stents in iliac lesions.…”

This article details the use of stent grafts for the treatment of iliac and femoropopliteal occlusive disease. The authors describe their experience with different stent graft systems for the treatment of long segmented femoropopliteal artery occlusions and discuss the results. Literature reports using stent grafts in iliac artery lesions are discussed. A comparison of the available literature data with noncovered stents and stent grafts in iliac and femoropopliteal lesions is given.
