Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Interwoven Nitinol Stent Fracture After Femoropopliteal Interventions.

ABSTRACT: Stent fractures have been described after femoropopliteal interventions with relevant clinical sequelae, including restenosis and reocclusion. We report 2 cases of fractures of a novel interwoven nitinol stent with high radial strength and fracture resistance as a result of entrapment syndrome of the popliteal artery. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
