Observational study of endoluminal mural thrombotic apposition in popliteal artery aneurysm stenting and its relationship with stent-graft geometrical features.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The development of intrastent thrombosis is one of the mechanisms related to medium- to long-term failure of endovascular treatment of popliteal artery aneurysm. The present study aims to investigate possible links between the development of endoluminal mural thrombotic apposition in the stented zone (EMTS) with both geometrical features of stent-graft(s) and time of follow-up.

Methods

Patients with popliteal artery aneurysm who underwent endovascular treatment were recruited during the follow-up period. Segmentation of computed tomography angiography scan was performed to detect femoropopliteal artery lumen, leg bones, EMTS, and stent-graft(s). The following parameters were assessed: number, diameter, and length of stent-graft(s); and shape, volume, and length
