Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Interwoven Nitinol Stent Fracture After Femoropopliteal Interventions

Stent fractures have been described after femoropopliteal interventions with relevant clinical sequelae, including restenosis and reocclusion. We report 2 cases of fractures of a novel interwoven nitinol stent with high radial strength and fracture resistance as a result of entrapment syndrome of th...

Descripción
Sumario:Stent fractures have been described after femoropopliteal interventions with relevant clinical sequelae, including restenosis and reocclusion. We report 2 cases of fractures of a novel interwoven nitinol stent with high radial strength and fracture resistance as a result of entrapment syndrome of the popliteal artery. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
