Peker A, Balendran B, Hilliard N, et al. - In this study, the long-term clinical efficacy of the Tigris stent (Gore) in femoropopliteal chronic total occlusions (CTOs) was evaluated Researchers conducted a single centre retrospective study including a total of 29 patients treated with 47 Tigris stents for CTOs. They analyzed lesion location, type, length, revascularisation method, smoking status and diabetes. The Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to assess freedom from TLR; they also conducted Cox multivariable logistic regression analysis of the factors associated with stent re-occlusion. This research illustrated that the use of a heparin-coated vascular stent for femoropopliteal CTOs appears to offer satisfactory long-term results.
