The superficial femoral artery (SFA) poses unique challenges for endovascular stenting. It is a long, muscular artery that is fixed between the hip and the knee; as a result of the complex motions of the hip joint, the SFA is subject to unique forces, including flexion, extension, and torsion (Fig. 1).
26 Αυγ 2017 · A great number of guidelines have been issued in recent years by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), by the European Society of Vascular Surgery (ESVS) and by the European Stroke Organization (ESO), as well as by other societies and organisations.
4 Δεκ 2013 · I typically treat small arteries (<5mm diameter) and lesions under 3–5cm with angioplasty alone with stent placement only for dissection or failed angioplasty (recoil). I will treat lesions 3–10cm with bare metal self-expanding stent placement. I favour the LifeStent, Complete or Absolute stent.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of superficial femoral artery (SFA) stenosis morphologic characteristics and lesion location on the rate of atherosclerotic disease progression.
One of the unique features of superficial femoral artery is lack of the major branches. The only named branch is the descending genicular branch, contributing to collateral flow of the knee when there is a stenosis in the area.
In the half century since Dotter and Judkins (1) dilated the first superficial femoral artery (SFA) stenosis, the technology and technique to support endovascular procedures has improved dramatically.
Abstract. e to date on the field of Superficial Femoral and Popliteal Artery Angioplasty and Stenting. Standards for the use of basic and more advanced endovascular techniques in the femoropopliteal arteries are reported and relevant aspects of case selection, imaging, foll.
