Repeated thrombus occlusion in superficial femoral artery at the gap between two stents: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, endovascular treatment has emerged as a preferred option for treating long lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), including those classified as Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus IIC and D. This approach may involve the use of multiple stents to ensure adequate coverage of the entire lesion, as maintaining primary patency is a key consideration in the treatment strategy.

Case summary

An 82-year-old woman underwent endovascular treatment with two stents for a chronic total occlusion lesion in the left SFA. Six months later, she was admitted to our hospital with acute limb ischaemia (ALI).
