Clinical outcomes of acute limb ischaemia caused by femoropopliteal stent thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although femoropopliteal-specific stents have durable patency, stent thrombosis (ST) may occur, which can lead to acute limb ischaemia (ALI).

Aims

We aimed to investigate the clinical features and outcomes of ALI caused by femoropopliteal ST in patients with lower extremity artery disease.

Methods

This multicentre retrospective study included 499 patients with ALI - of whom 108 patients had ALI caused by femoropopliteal ST (ST-ALI) and 391 patients had ALI caused by other aetiologies (de novo ALI) - who underwent treatment between September 2011 and March 2023. Clinical features and outcomes were compared between the two groups. The primary outcome measure was 12-month amputation-free survival; factors associated with amputation or death were investigated u
