Multiple Stent Delivery System "Multi-LOC": Focal self-expanding nitinol stenting of complex femoropopliteal lesions-A monocenter feasibility pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The Multiple Stent Delivery System (VascuFlex® Multi-LOC) is a novel stent delivery system with six short stents (13 mm long each) mounted on one wire-guided catheter, designed for the treatment of femoropopliteal arteries. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the safety and the feasibility of the VascuFlex® "Multi-LOC" stent delivery system, which enables spot stenting without changing the delivery system.

Methods and results

After proof of concept in a porcine model and after European Conformity marking, first clinical experiences were gathered in 20 patients with severe intermittent claudication or critical limb ischemia. First-in-human data are presented. The study included 20 limbs that underwent femoropopliteal revascularization for claudicati
