SLIDE 23 Do the patency data give us a clue for an algorithm?
- PTA/stents
- Femoral-popliteal
55-75%
- Surgical reconstruction
- Femoral-popliteal
65-80%
60-75%
The long term primary patency of different types of conduits for the SFA and possible place in the “algorithm” of therapy for SFA disease Vein Bypass ~75%
Long, Calcified, Endo failure
ePTFE Graft 40-50%
No option
Nitinol Stent 60% (3-5year)
Short Focal, flow limiting dissection
Stent Graft ~60%
Long disease, perforation, aneurysm
VMI (Supera) >80% (3yr TLR)
Calcified disease, SFA/pop, long disease, be wary of deployment and lesion preparation
DES ~66% (5yr – TASC A/B)
1-2 stent length, calcified, be wary of small vessels - ? Eluvia>Zilver PTX
DCB >65-80% (1-5yr) (>5yr?)
10-15cm, noncalcified, no scaffolding needed, “no stent” preferred zones, small vessels (?)
Atherectomy ~80% (1yr)
Adjunctive therapy to all of the above
