Patient and limb outcomes 10 years after endovascular revascularization of the superficial femoral artery for peripheral artery disease: The Boston Femoral Artery Endovascular Revascularization Outcomes (Boston FAROUT) study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to describe patient and limb outcomes in the decade after endovascular revascularization for chronic lower-extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD).

Methods

We assessed outcomes in patients having endovascular revascularization of the superficial femoral artery in two centers between 2003 and 2011 and followed for a median 9.3 (25-75%: 6.8, 11.1) years. Outcomes included death, myocardial infarction, stroke, repeat limb revascularizations, and amputations. We used competing risks analysis with clustering by patient to determine the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% CI for patients, and procedural characteristics for cause of death, cardiovascular events, and major adverse limb events (MALE).

Results

There were 253 index limb revascularizations in 202 pat
