ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the clinical effects of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA ) versus stent implantation (ST)after PTA for the treatment of femoral and popliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans.Methods:One hundred and three patients (1 1 9 limbs)treated for femo-ral and popliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans for ten years were reviewed,of whom 60 limbs were treated by PTA and the other 47 by PTA combined with stent implantation.Results:Among the 60 limbs of the PTA group,there were 22 limbs involved only in femoral and popliteal artery;1 3 limbs combined with iliac artery lesion;1 7 limbs combined with infrapopliteal artery lesion;8 limbs combined with iliac and infrapopliteal artery lesion.Among the 47 limbs of the ST group,there were 1 8 limbs involved only in femoral and popliteal artery;8 limbs combined with iliac artery lesion;1 5 limbs combined with infrapopliteal artery lesion;6 limbs combined with iliac and infrapopliteal artery lesion. There was no significant difference between the two groups on age,sex,concomitant disease,ankle bra-chial index(ABI)before treatment and Rutherford classification (P>0.05).The patients’Trans-atlantic inter-society consensus (TASC)C/D was lower in the PTA group than that in the ST group (58.3%vs. 76.6%,P=0.047).The follow-up periods were 48.0 (5.0,1 08.0)and 40.0 (3.0,96.0)months respectively (P=0.064).Compared with the PTA group,the ST group had a better short-term total effective rate (93.6% vs.80.0%,P=0.044)and a higher cost [(33 882.7 ±8 695.6)yuan vs. (1 7 754.8 ±3 654.2)yuan,P<0.001 ].The short-term marked effective rate of the ST group was higher than that of the PTA group,but the difference was not significant (31 .9% vs.21 .7%,P =0.231 ).There was no significant difference between the two groups on short-term efficiency,and compli-cation rates (58.3%vs.58.3%,P=0.724;1 .7%vs.2.1%,P=1 .000).There was no death during perioperative period and no short-term deterioration in both the groups.The long-term marked effective rate was lower and the deterioration rate was higher in the ST group than that in the PTA group,but the difference was not significant (8.5% vs.1 5.0%,P=0.381;1 4.9% vs.5.0%,P=0.081 ).There was no significant difference between the two group on long term total effective rate,accumulative limb salvage rate and reoperation rate (66.0% vs.66.7%,P=0.939;94.7% vs.94.1%,P=0.884;31 .9% vs.31 .7%,P=1 .000),and the 1 to 1 0 years primary and secondary patency rates were similar (P=0.837,P=0.622).When compared based on TASC classification,TASC A/B patients in the ST group had a higher short-term marked effective rate,a higher short-term total effective rate and a higher long-term deterioration rate than those in the PTA group,but the difference was not significant (36.4%vs.24.0%,P=0.353;1 00.0%vs.88.0%,P=0.322;1 8.2%vs.4.0%,P=0.21 6).TASC C/D patients had a similar result (30.6%vs.20.0%,P=0.307;91 .7%vs.74.3%,P=0.050;1 3.9%vs.5.7%,P=0.226).Both TASC A/B and TASC C/D patients in the ST group had a similar accumu-lative limb salvage rate with that in the PTA group (90.9% vs.90.6%,P =0.920;97.1% vs. 94.1%,P=0.796).Conclusion:Stent implantation can increase the cost and short term effective rate at the same time and is not superior to PTA on the long term effective rate and limb salvage rate for femo-ral and popliteal artery lesion resulted from arteriosclerosis obliterans.
