Durability and efficacy of tibial arterial stent placement for critical limb ischemia.

Purpose: To analyze the efficacy and durability of long-term tibioperoneal arterial stent placement for selected cases of symptomatic chronic limb ischemia (CLI).

Materials And Methods: From January 2005 to June 2012, 168 limbs (155 patients) were treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)/stent placement for de novo tibial stenosis or occlusion in at least one tibial artery. Most patients (92.

Cryopreserved autologous saphenous vein for staged treatment of bilateral popliteal aneurysms: report of three cases.
