Purpose: To assess the midterm safety and effectiveness of the Gore® Viabahn® Endoprosthesis as treatment for symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral arteries (SFA). Materials and Methods: A prospective, multicenter, post-market surveillance study was conducted in Japan. Patients with symptomatic SFA lesions ≥ 10 cm and reference vessel diameters ranging from 4.0 to 7.5 mm were eligible for enrollment; patients with traumatic or iatrogenic vessel injury in the thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic arteries were excluded. Outcomes evaluated at 12 months were primary patency (PP), primary-assisted patency (PAP), secondary patency (SP), freedom from target lesion revascularization (fTLR), occurrence of device- or procedure-related serious adverse events (SAEs), and stent fractures. Results: From August 2016 to May 2017, 321 patients were enrolled at 64 Japanese sites (mean age, 73.9±8.7 years; 77.3% male). Hypertension, diabetes, and end stage renal disease were present in 84.4%, 54.8%, and 23.1% of patients, respectively. Mean lesion length was 23.6 cm±6.6 cm, with lesions ≥ 15 cm in 271 patients (84.4%). TASC C/D lesions accounted for 86.6% (39.1% TASC C, 47.5% TASC D); 26.5% had critical limb ischemia. Baseline ABI was 0.60±0.16. A total of 562 devices were implanted in 324 limbs, with a majority of patients (68.8%) receiving 2 stents. Through 12 months, 92.1% of patients were evaluable. Kaplan-Meier-estimated PP, PAP, and SP at 12 months was 85.6%, 91.7%, and 94.8%, respectively. Twelve-month fTLR was 92.3%. Mean change in ABI at 12 months was 0.343±0.21; mean improvement in Rutherford class was 2.5. Device- or procedure-related SAEs occurred in 3.1% through 30 days, with a majority of early SAEs consisting of access complications. Through 12 months, a cumulative 10.6% had device- or procedure-related SAEs, with the most common being device occlusions in 4.0%. Lower limb amputation occurred in 0.9% and was related to pre-existing ulceration or gangrene in all 3 cases. No stent fractures were observed at 12-month x-ray evaluation. Conclusion: In a real-world Japanese patient population characterized by long SFA lesions and complex PAD, the Viabahn endoprosthesis was associated with excellent patency rates through 12 months and an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract. Background: Multilevel peripheral arterial disease is frequently observed in patients with intermittent claudication or critical limb ischemia. This report evaluates the efficacy of one-stage hybrid revascularization in patients with multilevel arterial peripheral disease. Patients and methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospective database included all consecutive patients treated by a hybrid approach for a multilevel arterial peripheral disease. The primary outcome was the patency rate at 6 months and 1 year. Secondary outcomes were early and midterm complication rate, limb salvage and mortality rate. Statistical analysis, including a Kaplan-Meier estimate and univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were carried out with the primary, primary assisted and secondary patency, comparing the impact of various risk factors in pre- and post-operative treatments. Results: 64 patients were included in the study, with a mean follow-up time of 428 days (range: 4 − 1140). The technical success rate was 100 %. The primary, primary assisted and secondary patency rates at 1 year were 39 %, 66 % and 81 %, respectively. The limb-salvage rate was 94 %. The early mortality rate was 3.1 %. Early and midterm complication rates were 15.4 % and 6.4 %, respectively. The early mortality rate was 3.1 %. Conclusions: The hybrid approach is a major alternative in the treatment of peripheral arterial disease in multilevel disease and comorbid patients, with low complication and mortality rates and a high limb-salvage rate.

Abstract. Increased arterial stiffness results from reduced elasticity of the arterial wall and is an independent predictor for cardiovascular risk. The gold standard for assessment of arterial stiffness is the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity. Other parameters such as central aortic pulse pressure and aortic augmentation index are indirect, surrogate markers of arterial stiffness, but provide additional information on the characteristics of wave reflection. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterised by its association with systolic hypertension, increased arterial stiffness, disturbed wave reflexion and prognosis depending on ankle-brachial pressure index. This review summarises the physiology of pulse wave propagation and reflection and its changes due to aging and atherosclerosis. We discuss different non-invasive assessment techniques and highlight the importance of the understanding of arterial pulse wave analysis for each vascular specialist and primary care physician alike in the context of PAD.
