Severe generalized dermatitis in a nickel-allergic patient with a popliteal artery nitinol stent
We present the case of a patient who developed a full-body desquamating macular-papular, pruritic rash after endovascular placement of a popliteal artery nitinol stent for acute limb ischemia. The rash was resistant to high-dose steroid and immunosuppressive treatment and intensive topical treatment. Patch testing revealed nickel allergy. The stented arterial segment was removed, with significa...
متن کاملTwo-month angioscopic evaluation of superficial femoral artery treated with paclitaxel-coated nitinol drug-eluting stent.
A 76-year-old woman presented with life-limiting claudication in the left leg. Ankle brachial index (ABI) was 1.07/0.63 (right/left). Duplex ultrasound showed a decreased flow pattern of the left popliteal artery with normal flow pattern in the common femoral artery (CFA), and stenosis or occlusion of the left SFA was strongly suspected. Angiography 1 month later showed severe stenosis in the o...
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 کاملIn-stent restenosis in the superficial femoral artery.
As the number of endovascular peripheral arterial interventions is increasing nationwide, so is the rate of observed in-stent restenosis, specifically in the superficial femoral artery. A paucity of literature is available regarding the pathophysiology, risk factors, and therapies associated with in-stent restenosis of the superficial femoral artery. This article summarizes the accumulated know...
متن کاملThe Treatment of Superficial Femoral Artery In-Stent Restenosis
T he treatment decision for in-stent restenosis (ISR) involving the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is complex. Important clinical issues include the problem (intimal hyperplasia inside a minimally expandable metal stent), the natural history (persistent claudication with low risk of limb loss), and the treatment alternatives to alter the natural history (exercise, bypass surgery, or catheter-...
