EMINENT Trial | Stent Eluvia vs BMS in Femoropopliteal Territory

Endovascular therapy in femoropopliteal territory has become the standard, mainly with self-expanding stents, aimed at preventing early vascular recoil and late constrictive remodeling. 

Thromboendarterectomy vs. Endovascular Therapy in Common Femoropopliteal Territory. Is Surgery Still the Gold Standard?

For lesions in the common femoral artery, guidelines recommend surgical endarterectomy (TEA) as the gold standard. However, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an alternative option for these lesions. 

Intermittent Claudication: Invasive Treatment Superior to Pharmacological Treatment?

Peripheral vascular disease is strongly associated to cardiovascular events and a negative impact on health status and quality of life. 

DISRUPT-PAD III: Followup of IVL Treatment in Femoropopliteal Territory

Femoropopliteal segment calcification can generate complications for both preparation and execution of endovascular therapies for patients with peripheral artery disease. It can produce suboptimal vessel expansion associated to higher risk of dissection or perforation. These adverse effects can affect procedure durability in the long term. 

IVUS Use in Peripheral Vascular Disease: Should this Tool Be Used More Frequently in Peripheral Interventions?

Use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has increased rapidly, and several randomized and observational studies have shown improved results in patients who underwent coronary angioplasty using this tool.

Drug Coated Balloons in Femoropopliteal Territory: Predictors of Failed Patency

Endovascular treatment in femoropopliteal territory has become the strategy of choice over time, with diverse devices; among others, drug coated balloons (DCB). DBS are meant to provide the antiproliferation effect of drugs while reducing exposure of a specific artery segment to a strange body.  

Clinical Results of IVUS-Guided Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation in Femoropopliteal Disease

Endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal lesions has become the first-line treatment due to the development of devices that decrease the restenosis rate. Recently, the IMPERIAL study showed greater patency at 1 year and greater freedom from clinically guided revascularization at 2 years in favor of the ELUVIA stent (paclitaxel-eluting fluoropolymer, FP-DES) compared with the ZILVER PTX stent (polymer-free paclitaxel-coated stent).

BEST-CLI: Revascularization of Critical Lower Limb Ischemia, a Pragmatic Study

Critical lower limb ischemia (CLLI) is associated with a major deterioration in quality of life and a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Its estimated annual incidence is 220 to 3500 cases per million people, with an expected prevalence of 11% of patients with peripheral arterial disease.
