C.ChapterOutline
This chapter aims to provide a framework and contextual understanding of stents by discussing the
technicalandclinical performanceofdifferentstentsusedinthelowerextremity.The useofstents for
othervascularterritoriesincludingvenousinterventionwillbecoveredintheirindividualchapters.
II.Bare-MetalBalloon-ExpandableStents
A.GeneralPrinciples
Inlowerextremityarterialstenting,bare-metalballoon-expandablestentsareprimarilyusedintheiliac
territory,giventhelower degreeofstress andtorsionalmovementtowhichtheiliacarteryisexposed.
Balloon-expandable stents should not be used in areas where repeated flexing of the artery occurs.
Balloon-expandablestents areconstructedfrom stainless steelor cobaltchromiumandingeneral have
greater radial strength and radiopacity but poorer flexibility and trackability compared with selfexpandingstents.Giventhemechanismofdeployment,theycanbepositionedwithgreateraccuracy.
B.CommonIliacArtery
Thecommoniliacarteryisastraightandimmobilevessel,beingfixedtothesacralpromontory,whilethe
external iliac artery has a much more tortuous course, stretching during hip extension. Open surgical
procedures have excellent patency rates but are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
Severalrandomizedstudiescomparingendovascularstentingwithstand-aloneangioplastydemonstrated
stentingtobesuperiorinbothhemodynamicparametersandRutherfordclassification.Ameta-analysisof
iliac intervention showed that stent placement reduced the risk of long-term failure by 39% when
compared with PTA alone.2 Table 13.1 lists all current FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)–

III.Balloon-ExpandableCoveredStents
A.GeneralPrinciples
Coveredstentscanbeusedtotreataneurysms,perforations,andarteriovenous fistulaeintheaortoiliac

low-risk patients. More recently, endovascular intervention has been performed with acceptable
outcomeseveninTASCCandDlesions.Theuseofcoveredstentshasbeenproposedtoreduceintimal
hyperplasiaandtoimprove long-termpatencybyreducingrestenosis.TheAtriumiCASTcoveredstent
(Maquet Getinge Group, Rastatt, Germany) and the Viabahn VBX endoprosthesis (W.L. Gore &
Associates, Flagstaff,AZ) are twocommercially available balloon-expandable polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) covered stents. Although the iCAST stent is currently approved by the FDA to treat
tracheobronchial strictures, it has been used “off-label” in aortoiliac, mesenteric, and renal arterial
occlusivedisease.TheViabahnVBXstentwasrecentlyapprovedbyFDAasthefirstballoon-expandable
stentgraftforuseintheiliacartery.

deviceisavailablein80cmand120cmshaftlengthsandisdeliveredona0.035-inwireplatform.The
stent can be postdilated to 4 mm larger if necessary after deployment, but this results in stent
foreshortening.TheiCAST stent is stiffer than a bare-metal stent(BMS) ofcomparable size,and care

2. The Viabahn VBX endoprosthesis is composed of a stainless steel stent fully covered in a
fluoropolymer,whichis coatedwith bioactive heparinsurface. The stentis premounted on a 0.035-in
guidewire-compatible delivery system and requires a 7 or 8 Fr sheath. It is available in 5-10 mm
diameterandin15,19,39,and59mmstentlengths.SimilartotheiCASTstent,theViabahnstentcanbe
postdilatedtoalargerdiameterifneeded.

B.NitinolSelf-ExpandingStents
1. The introduction of nitinol self-expanding stents changed the treatment of femoropopliteal
endovasculardisease,movingstentimplantationfromprimarilyabailoutprocedureafterfailedballoon
angioplasty to a reasonable initial approach. Nitinol is a metal alloy of nickel and titanium, which
exhibits two unique and closely related properties: shape memory effect and superelasticity. Shape
memoryis theabilityofnitinoltoundergodeformationatonetemperatureandthenrecoveritsoriginal
shapeat a higher temperature.Nitinolstentshaveimproved radialstrength andreducedforeshortening
andcrushresistanceowingtotheaboveuniqueproperties,makingthemwellsuitedforuseintheSFA,
the longest artery in the human body, subject to flexion, extension,lateral compression, and torsional
forcesduringdailyactivity.
2. Nitinol self-expanding stents have not been shown tobe superior over angioplasty for short, focal
lesions.TheFAST(FemoralArteryStentingTrial)randomized244patientswithlesionsbetween1and
10 cm to angioplasty versus primary stent implantation. Despite higher initial technical success, no

3. For lesions of intermediate length, however, self-expanding nitinol BMSs have been shown to be
superior to balloon angioplasty. An important early trial, the Vienna Absolute study, randomized 104
patients toprimary nitinol stenting versus balloon angioplastywith optional secondarystenting. Mean
lesionlengthwas 13.2cm inthe stentgroup, andsecondarystenting was performedintheangioplasty
groupin32%ofpatients.Therestenosisrateandtreadmillwalkdistanceweresignificantlysuperiorin

V.Self-ExpandingCoveredStents
A.GeneralPrinciples
Despite continued advances in SFA endovascular intervention, TASC II C and D lesions remain a
technical challenge with poor primary patencyrates due to in-stent restenosis and stent fracture. The
length and complexity of an SFA lesion are the most important factors linked to such failure.
Theoretically,astentgraftintheSFAwithcontinuousexclusionofthevesselwallfromluminalflowmay
preventneointimaltissuegrowth,reducingtheriskofin-stentrestenosisandthrombosiscommonlyseen

Inthefirst,theVIASTARtrial,the12-monthprimary

resultsfor theVIASTARtrial showedsustained benefit ofthestentgraftover BMS,especially in
patientswithlongSFAlesions.Interestingly,freedom-from-reinterventionandbypasssurgeryrates
were similar after the stent graft and BMS for lesions <20 and ≥20 cm. The second trial, the
VIBRANTtrial,showednosignificantdifferencesinprimarypatencyratesat3yearsbetweenthe
Viabahn stent graft and BMS, respectively (24.2% vs 25.9%), for TASC-II C and D lesions.

VI.SuperaNitinolSelf-ExpandingBareMetalStent
A.PeipheralStentsandRiskofStrutFracture
Strut fracture is a common issue with traditional laser-cut nitinol tube self-expanding stents in the
infrailiac vessels of the lower extremity owing to significant rotational and flexional stressors
encounteredinnormalmovement.Strutfracturespredisposetowardrestenosisandleadtoareductionin
primary patencypost peripheral intervention.To address this common issue,the Supera stent (Abbott
Vascular,SantaClara,CA),aninterwoven,braidednitinol,helicalself-expandingBMS,wasdeveloped
withdesignfeatures,whichdramaticallyreduce thefracture rate,increasemultidimensionalflexibility,
andresultinexcellentradialstrength.Thebiomimeticpropertiesofthestentenablethestenttoflex,bend,

2. Owing to its unique characteristics, deployment requires careful vessel preparation techniques,

specific to the stent. The vessel should be predilated to achieve a 1:1 matchbetween the stent outer
diameterandthepostdilationvesselcaliber.Thereshouldnotbemorethan1-mmoversizingofthestent.
The deliverycatheter mechanismallowsforprecise releaseofthehelicalcoils viathumb movements,
allowing for control of the deployed length. This also leads to the ability to increase the density of
deployedcoilsifdesiredtoincrease radialstrengthinspecific sectionsofthestent.Thestentismuch
longer within the delivery catheter compared with the deployed length, occasionally leading to
compressed or elongated deployment of the stent length in untrained hands. This feature makes it
unsuitableforuseinostiallesions.

C.Drug-ElutingSelf-ExpandingStentsIn-Development
A new DES system is currently being tested for use inthe femoropopliteal arteries. The Eluvia DES

thissystemdesignincludesanactivelayerofthefluoropolymerPVDF-HFP(poly[vinylidenefluoride-cohexafluoropropylene]), which is the coating polymer on the Promus Element coronary stent (Boston
Scientific,Marlborough,MA)tocontrolpaclitaxelrelease over longerperiods. Initialdata reporteda
stunningprimarypatencyof96%at12-monthfollow-up.39Randomizedtrialswithlongertermfollow-up
arecurrentlyinprogress.
VIII.BioresorbableScaffolds
A.GeneralPrinciples
With unsatisfactory primary patency rates after endovascular therapy with angioplasty or stents,
bioresorbablescaffold(BRS)systems are being developed fortheir theoretical benefitsofmaintaining
further diagnostic and therapeutic options in the long term, such as follow-up MRI, repeated
revascularizationviaendovascularapproach,orbypasssurgery.
The most common scaffold system is composed of poly-L-lactide (PLLA), whichtypically resorbs to
carbon dioxide and water over 2-3 years.40 The second, less popular BRS system is metal based
(magnesium andotherminerals)andhasbeenusedbelowthekneeswithunfavorable outcomes,mostly
related to very rapid resorption and lower radial strength.41 Newer PLLA BRS incorporate the
antiproliferativeagenteverolimus,withaBRScopolymertocontroldrugreleaseintothesubintimallayer
similar to the recently discontinued ABSORB (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA), bioabsorbable
coronarystent.
C.The unique aspects of BRS stents are not only limited to their composition and the advantage of
resorption, as such advantagecomesata greatcostofstrut thickness. Typically, BRS struts are about
twice as thick as traditional metal stents with lower radial strength and flexibility, leading to lower
deliverability.AsmostBRSsareradiolucent,fluoroscopicvisualizationoftheactualstentisimpossible,
and most stents have radiopaque markers to facilitate visualization. These factors contribute to a
deploymentprocess, which tends to be less forgiving, requiring careful technique and training. Other
technicalaspectsincludeproblemswithoverlappingmultiplestents,secondarytothickerstruts,causing
longeroverlappingsegmentstoincreasethelikelihoodofstentthrombosis.PostdilationofBRSshouldbe
limited,as theydo notprovide comparable radial strength to metalstents and are moresusceptible to
fracture if postdilated beyondtheir prespecified nominal pressures. These factors significantly impact
outcomesofBRStechnology.
