Fifty-two percent of lesions were occlusions, and 87% involved the distal half or the whole segment of the SFA. Immediate endovascular stenting was used in all procedures, involving the placement of 105 stents, with a mean stented length of 13.8 cm. Twenty-nine procedures (43%) were performed for critical ischemia. Three-monthly duplex ultrasound was used for follow up assessment, with stenosis of &gt; 50% defined as the endpoint for failure. The patient demographic and biochemical data, and procedural details were correlated with success criteria according to Society of Vascular Surgery standards. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Initial technical success by intent to treat was 92%, with four procedure-related complications and no deaths. Initial success by anatomic, hemodynamic and clinical criteria were 98.3, 96.7 and 93.3% respectively (92.2, 90.6 and 87.5% by intent to treat). Cumulative primary patency at 6, 12, and 24 months was 73.1, 62.6 and 53.8%, and secondary patency 84.9, 72.1 and 72.1% correspondingly. Significant factors relating to inferior patency were occlusions, stented segment length &gt; 10 cm, procedure in claudicants, and the use of the Memotherm stent. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Angioplasty and stenting of the superficial femoral artery has acceptable primary and secondary patency rates even in the presence of long stenosis and occlusions. A duplex surveillance program is recommended for early detection and timely treatment of restenosis. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/096721090100900204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,22]],"date-time":"2024-09-22T09:13:09Z","timestamp":1726996389000},"page":"133-140","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Endovascular Stenting of Superficial Femoral Artery Stenosis and Occlusions: Results and Risk Factor Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Stephen W.
