Navigating complexity: The Supera's triumph in femoropopliteal lesions
VASCULAR(2024)
摘要
Introduction The femoropopliteal sector endovascular treatment is particularly challenging due to its high tortuosity and torsional forces. Better results are still needed to ensure the long-term patency of stenting in this area. The Supera stent appears to change this paradigm.Methods This single-center retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of femoropopliteal stenting with Supera in a real-world population. Seventy-nine patients were treated between January 2015 and December 2020, and the results are reported with a median follow-up of 28 months.Results Indications for revascularization were chronic limb-threatening ischemia with tissue loss (73.6%) or ischemic rest pain (17.7%) and claudication (7.6%). Thirty-six patients (45.6%) were classified as GLASS stage III according to the Global Limb Anatomic Staging System, with 65.8% and 30.4% in grades 3 and 4 of femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal sectors, respectively. The 36-month primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency rates were 68.6%, 72.0%, and 79.0%, respectively, with an amputation-free survival rate of 86.6%. There was no significant difference between primary patency rates in GLASS stages I-II compared with GLASS stage III (36-month primary patency rates of 72% vs 63% respectively, p = 0.342) nor in amputation-free survival (88% vs 84%, p = 0.877). After adjusting for potential confounders, only the stent conformation significantly affected the primary patency rates, with a higher hazard of reintervention for the elongated (HR = 3.179; p = 0.36; CI 1.081-9.347) and the compressed (HR = 3.014; p = 0.42; CI 1.039-8.746) forms.Conclusions The 36-month patency of the Supera stents in our real-world cohort was similar to other reported series. The GLASS stage did not interfere with the stent patency, proving it is a good choice even in the most adverse anatomy patients. Only the non-nominal stent conformation affected the primary patency rates in our patients.
