Primary stenting in femoropopliteal occlusive disease - what is the appropriate role?

Circulation Journal : Official Journal of the Japanese Circulation Society
Wai-Ki Yiu, M S Conte

Abstract

Endovascular treatment of femoropopliteal occlusive disease is challenging and often limited by its unique anatomic, hemodynamic and biomechanical constraints. Despite technical improvement, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty alone is not adequate to provide satisfactory long-term patency. Several randomized controlled trials have shown that primary nitinol stenting can provide a better short-term radiological patency in intermediate lesion, but the results were often limited by intrinsic stent complications, particularly in-stent restenosis. Solutions to long lesions have been more elusive. To date, many novel technologies have been developed with a goal of improving stent design for this specific environment. Interwoven stents are made to provide a higher radial strength and kink resistance. Covered stents are designed to prevent the ingrowth of intimal hyperplasia, which is the main cause of restenosis in bare metal stent. Drug-eluting stents have shown improved patency in clinical trials. Bioabsorbable stents, combining biological agents and mechanical scaffold, provide temporary vascular support while reducing implant-related vascular inflammation in the long term. New developments in balloon angioplasty, such as drug e...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
