The present study details the first long-term results with the long EverFlex nitinol stent. Forty-one EverFlex stents were implanted in 32 patients with either superficial femoral artery occlusions (n = 20) or stenoses (n = 12); mean lesion length was 13.3 cm (range = 8.0\u201339.0). Patients presented with clinical stage Fontaine IIb (n = 27), III (n = 4), or IV (n = 1). Stent lengths were 10 cm (n = 18), 12 cm (n = 6), or 15 cm (n = 17). Follow-up after 2 months indicated primary and secondary patency rates of 96.9% (n = 31) and 100% (n = 32); ABI improved from 0.57 to 0.91 ( P &lt; .001). After 1 year, revascularization was performed in 6 patients (18.8%). Primary and secondary patency rates were 81.3% (n = 26) and 93.8% (n = 30). In this first long-term evaluation, the long EverFlex nitinol stent achieves excellent clinical results after implantation into complex superficial femoral artery lesions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0003319708317336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,28]],"date-time":"2008-05-28T20:34:09Z","timestamp":1212006849000},"page":"31-35","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["One-Year Follow-up after Implantation of the EverFlex Nitinol Stent in Long Lesions of the Superficial Femoral Artery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Johannes","family":"Ruef","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Red Cross Hospital Cardiovascular Center, Frankfurt, Germany."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2003.09.011"},{"key":"bibr2-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8183.2004.04086.x"},{"key":"bibr3-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0741-5214(97)70323-9"},{"key":"bibr4-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.688341"},{"key":"bibr5-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.107.689141"},{"key":"bibr6-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2006.09.024"},{"key":"bibr7-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1583\/04-1359.1"},{"key":"bibr8-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2362.2007.01774.x"},{"key":"bibr9-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.tvir.2006.05.003"},{"key":"bibr10-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/152660280701400401"},{"key":"bibr11-0003319708317336","first-page":"198","volume":"15","author":"Cho L.","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Invasive Cardiol."},{"key":"bibr12-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1583\/05-1672.1"},{"key":"bibr13-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2004.11.026"},{"key":"bibr14-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1540-8183.2006.00197.x"},{"key":"bibr15-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa051303"},{"key":"bibr16-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2007.07.025"},{"key":"bibr17-0003319708317336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.21104"}],"container-title":["Angiology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003319708317336","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003319708317336","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T10:15:12Z","timestamp":1777371312000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0003319708317336"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,25]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2009,2]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0003319708317336"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0003319708317336","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-3197","1940-1574"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-3197","type":"print"},{"value":"1940-1574","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,5,25]]}}}
