Abstract
BACKGROUND:: METHODS:: RESULTS:: Between 2006 and 2011, a total of 30 patients underwent 31 CFA procedures. The primary etiologies of CFA obstruction were atherosclerosis (58%), access-site-related complication (32%), and thromboembolism (10%). Patients presented with severe claudication (60%), critical limb ischemia (13%), or acute limb ischemia (27%). The procedure was technically successful in 90% of cases with major complications in two (7%) patients. There was no procedure-related mortality. The KM estimate of survival and amputation-free survival at 1 year was 96% (±4%) and 96% (±4%), respectively. In those patients who had a successful revascularization, the overall 1-year estimate for primary and secondary patency was 88% (±6) and 92% (±5%), respectively. There was a nonsignificant trend toward lower patency in patients treated for atherosclerotic disease compared to those with access-site-related complications and thromboembolic disease at 2-year follow-up (76 vs. 100%, P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS
