Abstract

To review the long-term results of primary stent placement in the distal aorta above the bifurcation. Fourteen patients (8 men; mean age 62 years, range 46-82) underwent primary stent implantation performed by an interdisciplinary radiosurgical team. In 10 patients, a long-term follow-up examination consisting of patient history, clinical examination, and duplex sonography was performed. The ankle-brachial index (ABI) for the posterior tibial artery was calculated on the basis of Doppler pressure measurements. The clinical success rate at the first follow-up examination (mean 2.9 months, range 2.1-4.4) was 100% (n = 14). The mean baseline ABI of 0.64 +/- 0.12 had risen to 1.02 +/- 0.10 (p < 0.0001). At midterm follow-up (mean 22.8 months, range 14-42) in 12 patients, the ABI was 0.96 +/- 0.12 (p < 0.0001 versus baseline). At a mean 86 months (range 51-119) after stent treatment, the ABI in 10 patients was 0.90 +/- 0.20 (p < 0.0001 versus baseline). Over the long term, the clinical success rate was 70%. Deterioration was due to the progression of atherosclerosis distal to the aorta; duplex sonography showed no aortic restenosis or occlusion. In view of the excellent long-term results in our small series, primary stent placement ...Continue Reading

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
