Long-Term Results of Stenting of the Aortic Bifurcation

The influence of gender on patency rates after iliac artery stenting

“…Similarly, kissing stent deployment has previously been associated with a higher risk of restenosis and reocclusion. 19,20 In our study, the higher frequency of kissing stent deployment in women was not associated with a decreased patency.…”

First-in-Human Experience With the Gore Balloon-Expandable Covered Endoprosthesis in Iliac Artery Occlusive Disease

“…The use of kissing stents (both SE and BE) has been shown to provide excellent acute reconstruction in aortic bifurcation disease, 19,20 although the long-term patency is less impressive. 21 Covered endovascular stent reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation (CERAB) has been proposed to improve long-term patency at this site. An in vitro study using anatomical vessel phantoms found CERAB to have the lowest radial mismatch compared to SE and BE stents, suggesting CERAB represents the best anatomical and physiological reconstruction of the aortic bifurcation.…”

A comparison between aortobifemoral bypass and aortoiliac kissing stents in patients with complex aortoiliac obstructive disease

“…[1][2][3] In particular, the "kissing stent" technique has been proposed for the treatment of complex aortoiliac lesions; it is particularly attractive for patients with high surgical risk because complications and mortality of AbF bypass still remain significant issues. [4][5][6][7] Moreover, in more complex disease patterns, such as those with the obstruction extending beyond or those with an associated severe femoral artery disease, hybrid technique using femoral artery endarterectomy in combination with aortoiliac kissing stents has emerged to extend the applicability of an endovascular approach.…”
