Outcomes of Popliteal Stent-Graft Placement at the Artery Hinge Point for Popliteal Artery Aneurysm

Antecubital perforating vein stent‐grafting for radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula recovery: A case report

“…They are often used in the popliteal artery for treating aneurysms with favorable results 13 . Despite this being an important flexion point, stent fractures are rarely reported 14 . In the presented case, stent‐grafts were overlapped to increase kinking resistance at this high mobile elbow joint.…”

“…13 Despite this being an important flexion point, stent fractures are rarely reported. 14 In the presented case, stent-grafts were overlapped to increase kinking resistance at this high mobile elbow joint. Also, a second stent-graft was used so that the edges of the stent would land in a non-tortuous vein segment reducing mechanical wall stress and turbulent flow that could cause restenosis due to intimal hyperplasia.…”

Endovascular revascularization of an occluded persistent sciatic artery for chronic limb-threatening ischemia in a patient with Coronavirus Disease 2019

“…Studies show that stents crossing the knee, particularly in P2 and P3 popliteal artery segments, have a higher risk of stent-related complications and fracture. 10,11 Owing to this patient's extensive comorbidities, sepsis, and ejection fraction of 24%, he was not a good surgical candidate for bypass. Further, his COVID-19 infection increased his complication risk.…”

Repeated Pseudoaneurysm after Endovascular Repair of Popliteal Aneurysm due to Graft Disintegration and Fabric Tear

“…There are no clear guidelines, but acceptable early and mid-term patency results have been reported in patients with favorable anatomy. Endovascular repair of a PAA is generally performed using a Viabahn stent graft, which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration [2,[5][6][7]. www.vsijournal.org However, after the withdrawal of Gore Medical from South Korea in 2017, no peripheral stent graft device was available for this purpose.…”
