Grasping the nettle and femoral artery stenting.
When brushed against, needles on the leaves of nettles inject a noxious toxin into the skin. However, grasping the nettle firmly bends the needles away from the skin, rendering it is less painful. The expression “to grasp the nettle” is to boldly confront an issue in order to seek its resolution.

متن کاملStent fractures after superficial femoral artery stenting
Stent fracture is one of the major factors compromising implanted stent patency due to its consequences including in-stent restenosis, thrombosis, perforation, and migration. Stent fracture can occur from stress (extrinsic or intrinsic) and biomechanical forces at different implantation sites. We report on 2 cases of stent fractures and pertinent literature. One patient, a 75-year-old male, pre...
متن کاملA Review of Superficial Femoral Artery Angioplasty and Stenting
Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is the most common cause of intermittent claudication. Several endovascular treatment options exist; the most frequent are angioplasty or angioplasty with stent placement. The aim of this review is to clarify the role of angioplasty alone vs. angioplasty with
متن کاملMidterm Outcome of Femoral Artery Stenting and Factors Affecting Patency
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early and midterm results of superficial femoral artery (SFA) stenting with self-expanding nitinol stents and to identify the factors affecting patency. MATERIALS AND METHODS SFA stenting was performed in 165 limbs of 117 patients from January 2009 to December 2013. Patients were followed-up for the first occurrence of occlusion or stenosi...
