Abstract: Conventional PTA is a minimally invasive alternative to bypass surgery for treating TASC A-C atherosclerotic lesions in the presence of adequate runoff.

“…[10][11][12][13][14][15] The serious adverse event rate fell within the range cited in comparable historical controls 13,16,17 and so did the TVR rate at 1 year. 8,[18][19][20][21] The 95.9% freedom from death, amputation, and TVR provided additional evidence of safety. All in all, Proteus functioned well without injuring the vessel wall, as demonstrated by the low rate of vessel dissections (3.8%) compared to the reported range of 11.9% to 17%.…”

“…With stenting, the vessel walls are remodelled [14]. The rate of restenosis after endovascular treatment with angioplasty and stenting can reach 35% in the mid-to long term (6, 12, 18, and 24 months and beyond), with significantly worse rates (around 50%) for lesions in categories other than TASC A [11, 12, [15][16][17].…”

“…Il trattamento endovascolare percutaneo della malattia ateromasica più diffuso e consolidato è rappresentato dall'angioplastica e/o stenting: entrambi non provvedono a rimuovere la placca, ma si limitano a spalmarla lungo le pareti con meccanismo di schiacciamento, con un effetto costante di barotrauma a carico delle pareti;con lo stenting si ottiene successivamente un rimodellamento delle pareti del vaso [14]. La presenza di restenosi in caso di trattamento endovascolare con angioplastica e stent può raggiungere livelli del 35% a medio-lungo periodo (6, 12, 18 e 24 mesi e oltre); questo dato tra l'altro peggiora nettamente per i pazienti trattati appartenenti a classi diverse dalla TASC A abbassandosi attorno al 50% [11,12,[15][16][17]ovviare alla restenosi dopo angioplastica e/o stenting sono stati di volta in volta proposti stent ricoperti, stent medicati, ecc.…”
