Use of a New Hybrid Heparin-Bonded Nitinol Ring Stent in the Popliteal Artery: Procedural and Mid-term Clinical and Anatomical Outcomes

Abstract

The TIGRIS hybrid heparin-bonded nitinol ring stent is a safe and effective endovascular option for complex occlusive disease of the popliteal artery.

Real-World Results of Supera Stent Implantation for Popliteal Artery Atherosclerotic Lesions: 3-Year Outcome

“…The use of hybrid heparin-bonded, nitinol ring stents showed a primary patency of 69.5e79% at 12 months of follow-up for the popliteal artery lesions. 19,20 The primary patency obtained in our study reflects better results with the use of nitinol interwoven stents (89.6%).…”

Directional Atherectomy With Antirestenotic Therapy vs Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty Alone for Isolated Popliteal Artery Lesions

“…The reported 1-year primary patency rates of the Supera stent in the popliteal artery ranged between 68.4% and 88%, while the observed rate with the popliteal TIGRIS stents (W. L. Gore & Associates) at 12 months was 69.5%. [2][3][4]26,27 However, optimal deployment of the Supera stent remains crucial as stent elongation or intussusception is associated with loss of radial strength and higher rates of restenosis. 1,28 Up to now there has been no clear solution concerning ISR, while popliteal stent occlusion is associated with loss of a bypass target.…”

“…However, the development of new-generation devices improved the results of stent therapy in this anatomical territory, but impaired arterial remodeling and interference with future surgical options are disadvantages. [2][3][4][5] Additionally, in the absence of clear-cut solutions, in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains a challenging complication of infrainguinal peripheral artery disease (PAD) treatment. 6 The "leave nothing behind" strategies, namely, drugcoated balloon (DCB) angioplasty and combined directional atherectomy and antirestenotic therapy (DAART), can theoretically overcome the problems caused by the mobility of the knee joint.…”

Venous Stent Recovery Migrated to Right Pulmonary Artery : Case Report, Clinical Review and Update

“…La serie de Parthipun y cols. (18) recoge 50 lesiones tratadas con stent dual en la región poplítea. En su caso, el 74% de las lesiones fueron oclusiones completas, algo superior a la mayoría de los estudios.…”
