“…The results showed correct positioning of the stentgraft without any endoleak with gradual recovery 5 days after surgery and surgical vacuation of the haematoma by means of an internal popliteal approach. Specific endovascular revascularization protocols exist in the literature for patients with acute limb ischaemia due to thromboembolic complications resulting from popliteal artery aneurysm (PAA) [ 75 ]. These protocols are based on a combination of vacuum-assisted thrombo-aspiration to improve tibiopedal outflow and covered stent grafting to exclude the PAA.…”

Coated stents are defined as innovative stents surrounded by a thin polymer membrane based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)useful in the treatment of numerous vascular pathologies. Endovascular methodology involves the use of such devices to restore blood flow in small-, medium- and large-calibre arteries, both centrally and peripherally. These membranes cross the stent struts and act as a physical barrier to block the growth of intimal tissue in the lumen, preventing so-called intimal hyperplasia and late stent thrombosis. PTFE for vascular applications is known as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) and it can be rolled up to form a thin multilayer membrane expandable by 4 to 5 times its original diameter. This membrane plays an important role in initiating the restenotic process because wrapped graft stent could be used as the treatment option for trauma devices during emergency situations and to treat a number of pathological vascular disease. In this review, we will investigate the multidisciplinary techniques used for the production of e-PTFE membranes, the advantages and disadvantages of their use, the innovations and the results in biomedical and surgery field when used to cover graft stents.
