Lesion Characteristics Associated with Loss of Primary Patency After Endovascular Therapy for Common Femoral Artery Lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify lesion characteristics associated with restenosis after endovascular therapy (EVT) for common femoral artery (CFA) lesions in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) in real-world practice.

Materials and methods

We included 751 Japanese patients with PAD who underwent CFA EVT. Data were from a large-scale retrospective multicenter registry study. The association of lesion characteristics with the risk of restenosis was investigated with the Cox proportional hazards regression model.

Results

Lesions extended to the external iliac artery in 10.0% of patients, were isolated in the CFA in 59.9%, and involved the bifurcation in 30.1%. Chronic total occlusion was noted in 21.1%, and 99% stenosis, in 19.9%. Among the limbs with CFA lesions, 16.4% ha
