Purpose: Vessel recoil is a common phenomenon occurring in the tibial vessels following balloon angioplasty. This study examined the occurrence and short-term impact of acute vessel recoil in a subset of patients treated with retrievable scaffold therapy (RST) via the Spur Peripheral Retrievable Scaffold System (Spur).
Methods: Patients with tibial disease underwent angiography immediately following RST, and then 15 minutes post-treatment.
