ABSTRACT

AIM:

This study was designed to investigate the immediate and one-year outcomes of polymer-free paclitaxel coated drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation in a consecutive series of patients presenting with stenosis of infrainguinal bypass grafts.

METHODS:

Between January 2011 and January 2012, 11 patients with failing infrainguinal bypass grafts were treated in two institutions. Clinical status and Duplex scan parameters were recorded at baseline and over a follow-up period of one year.

RESULTS:

DES implantation was successfully performed in all patients. Ten patients received a single stent and one patient received two stents. At one year, one patient showed total bypass graft occlusion (9%). In all the remaining patients, Duplex scan examination documented patency of the treated grafts.

CONCLUSION:

DES implantation in failing infrainguinal bypass grafts can be safely performed and provides satisfactory clinical outcomes. The patency rate of 91% favourably compares with those obtained with other endovascular treatments such as plain balloon or cutting balloon angioplasty.
