SUBINTIMAL RECANALIZATION AND STENTING FOR LONG SUPERFICIAL FEMORAL ARTERY OCCLUSIONS

Objective: To assess the feasibility and mid-term outcome of combined subintimal recanalization and stenting for the treatment of long superficialFebruary, and then Protégé® EverFlexTM) were placed in the whole subintimal space. The number and the length of stents was dictated from the length of the intentional subintimal dissection. The site of re-entry was chosen without compromise the feasibilty of a future bypass grafting. When completion arteriogram revealed residual stenosis, a post-dilatation was performed.
