Abstract
Purpose
To report the 3-year results of Innova™ stent implantation for the treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) lesions in a real-world setting.
Methods
This single-arm, retrospective, multicenter clinical study analyzed 481 lesions from 453 consecutive patients with symptomatic peripheral artery diseases (Rutherford category 1–6) who underwent endovascular therapy with implantation of Innova™ self-expanding nitinol stent for FP lesions. The primary outcome measure was the 3-year restenosis rate based on doppler-ultrasound or angiographic criteria. The secondary outcome measures included the rates of 3-year major amputation and major adverse limb events.
Results
Restenosis following Innova™ implantation was found in 61% of the cases at 3 years. At the end of 3 years, the rates of major amputations and major adverse limb events were 3 and 31%, respectively. In cases free from restenosis at 1 year, no predictive factors for restenosis at 3 years could be determined.
Conclusion
The present study demonstrated mid-term clinical outcomes after Innova™ stent implantation for the treatment of FP lesions in a real-world population. The Innova™ stent demonstrated acceptable clinical outcomes in a real-world setting.
