Stenting vs above knee polytetrafluoroethylene bypass for TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus-II C and D superficial femoral artery disease

Abstract: PTA/S for TASC-II C lesions has a superior midterm patency than AK-FPB using PTFE, and AK-FPB with PTFE has better primary and assisted-primary patency than PTA/S-D. The TASC-II recommendations should be modified to recommend treatment of SFA TASC-II C lesions by PTA/S rather than PTFE bypass for all patients. PTA/S of TASC-II D lesions should only be considered in high-risk patients who cannot tolerate a bypass procedure using PTFE.

“…22 Previous studies have compared bypass surgery with EVT, and Markose et al reported that bypass surgery with a vein graft resulted in a 2-year patency of 81%, compared with 67% for a PTFE graft and at best 67% for subintimal angioplasty. 23, 24 In Tables 1,2. group, it can be argued on the basis of this study that EVT should be the first-line treatment for patients with high operative risk. Careful patient selection is needed, however, because the primary patency rate of EVT was lower than that of bypass surgery.…”

“…Therefore, the procedure should be limited to cases in which the prospects for patency are satisfactory, especially when the competitive patency results in this sector are often reached with repeat endovascular procedures. The two-year percentages for secondary patency close to 70% are similar to those obtained with saphenous vein bypass (>70 after 2 years 3,9 ), and they surpass the patency of bypasses with prosthetic material (57% after 2 years and 37% after 5 years [10][11][12].…”

“…There are not many publications comparing femoral artery stenting and bypass surgery, and the assessment of patency and the overall results of different treatment modalities is somewhat problematic, as study designs vary considerably. [16][17][18][19] In our series, 80% of TASC II A and B lesions received stents and 76% of TASC II C and D lesions received bypasses. These figures are in keeping with those reported in previous studies.…”
