Abstract: Objective To evaluate therapeutic effect of endovascular treatment of iliac,femoral or popliteal artery injury with VIABAHN stent.Methods Endovascular treatment of iliac,femoral or popliteal artery injury was performed with VIABAHN stents in 12 patients admitted to our hospital from August 2015 to December 2013.Results Technical success rate was 100％.Strong instant postoperative pulsation of all dorsal and posterior tibial arteries could be palpated.No procedural and postoperative short term complications (endoleak,stent migration,hematoma at puncture site,thrombosis in arteries and stents and contrast nephropathy) were found.ABI value of injured lower limbs was promoted from preoperative 0.45 ± 0.12 to postoperative 0.95 ± 0.06.Mild stenosis (＜ 30％) of proximal end of stent was noted in one case by CTA.Patients were followed up for 3-18 months [averaging (10 ± 4) months].There was no postoperative limb ischeamia related symptoms.ABI was above 0.9 in all patients.Conclusion The short and middle term therapeutic effect of endovascular treatment of iliac,femoral and popliteal artery injury with VIABAHN stent was satisfactory.
