Background—Endoluminal treatment of superficial femoral artery lesions is a matter of
controversy. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of nitinol stenting of …

Background Because stent implantation for disease of the superficial femoral artery has
been associated with high rates of late clinical failure, percutaneous transluminal …

Background: Recent randomized trials investigating stent implantation compared with
balloon angioplasty for treatment of superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease have given …

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and integrity of the PROTÉGÉ EverFlex stent in
superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions in symptomatic patients with peripheral artery …

Background—Controversy still exists regarding the best endovascular treatment strategy for
patients with symptomatic disease of the superficial femoral artery. There are conflicting data …

Purpose To determine whether primary stenting reduces the rate of restenosis compared
with balloon angioplasty alone in the endovascular treatment of long superficial femoral …

Background—Primary stenting with self-expanding nitinol stents of the superficial femoral
artery yielded improved morphological and clinical results compared with balloon …

Objectives: We sought to investigate the timing of restenosis and the restenosis factors
following nitinol stenting in the superficial femoral artery (SFA). Background: Restenosis …

Objective The predominant mode of bare nitinol stent failure is diffuse in-stent restenosis,
and failure rates correlate to the length and complexity of the treated lesion. Addition of an …

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of intravascular stents used to treat long-segment
stenoses and occlusions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) after suboptimal angioplasty …
