Abstract
Objective: To assess the use of a nitinol stent to treat symptomatic stenoses or occlusions of the native superficial femoral artery (SFA). Materials and Methods: Seventy-four patients were treated at 12 Japanese sites. The primary endpoint, freedom from target-limb failure (TLF), was a composite of device- or procedure-related death, target-limb amputation, target-vessel revascularization (TVR), or restenosis compared to an objective performance goal (OPG) at 12 months. Secondary endpoints, including primary patency, freedom from TVR/target-lesion revascularization (TLR), improvements in clinical parameters, and major adverse events (MAEs) were evaluated through 36 months. Results: The mean overall lesion length was 80.7±38.9 mm (mean stented length: 98.8±46.1 mm). Freedom from TLF was 81.2% (p<0.001 compared to OPG) with a Kaplan-Meier estimate of 84.2% [95% confidence interval (95%CI) 73.3%, 90.9%] at 12 months. Primary patency was 71.0% at 12 months and 67.8% at 36 months. A total of 94.7% of patients improved by at least one Rutherford category and 70.2% of patients improved ankle-brachial indices ≧0.10 from baseline to 36 months. Freedom from TVR/TLR (Kaplan-Meier) was 90% at 12 months and 79.5% at 36 months. Four MAEs were reported; none were found to be device or procedure related. Conclusion: A self-expanding stent was used safely to treat stenotic and occlusive lesions of the SFA in a Japanese patient population. The composite endpoint, freedom from TLF, was superior to an historical control at one year, with low rates of revascularization and good functional and clinical outcomes through three years.
