Three-year clinical course after fluoropolymer-based drug-eluting stent implantation for femoropopliteal lesions

BACKGROUND: Although the 1-year clinical outcomes of fluoropolymer-based drug-eluting stents (FP-DES) were favorable for the treatment of real-world femoropopliteal lesions in symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD), their performance beyond 1 year remained unknown. The current study determined the 3-year clinical course of FP-DES implantation for real-world femoropopliteal lesions.

METHODS: This multicenter, prospective, observational study evaluated 1204 limbs (chronic limb-threatening ischemia, 34.8%; mean lesion length, 18.6 ± 9.9 cm, chronic total occlusion: 53.2%) of 1097 patients with PAD (age, 75 ± 9 years; diabetes mellitus, 60.8%) undergoing FP-DES implantation for femoropopliteal lesions. The primary outcome measure was 3-year restenosis. The secondary outcome measures included 3-year occlusive restenosis, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization (TLR), and aneurysmal degeneration.

RESULTS: The 3-year cumulative occurrence of restenosis was 27.3%, whereas that of occlusive restenosis, stent thrombosis, and TLR was 16.1%, 7.3%, and 19.6%, respectively. The annual occurrence of restenosis decreased by 12.0%, 9.5%, and 5.8% in the first, second, and third year, respectively (p < 0.001). Similarly, the rates of occlusive restenosis and stent thrombosis decreased (p < 0.001 and p = 0.007, respectively), whereas the rate of TLR remained unchanged for 3 years (p = 0.15). The incidence of aneurysmal degeneration at 3 years (15.7%) did not significantly differ from that at 1 and 2 years (p = 0.69 and 0.20, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the favorable long-term clinical course of FP-DES in real-world practice, emphasizing the importance of monitoring for occlusive restenosis and stent thrombosis while considering the potential onset of aneurysmal degeneration.
