Objective To investigate the correlation between femoral popliteal artery stent fracture and in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans of superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery after receiving stent implantation.Methods The clinical data of a total of 97 consecutive patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans of superficial femoral artery and proximal popliteal artery (107 diseased limbs in total),who were treated with primary stent implantation during the period from March 2012 to March 2016,were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging materials,including Doppler ultrasonography,plain radiography,contrast-enhanced CT scan,DSA,etc.were collected,and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and other statistical analysis methods were used to analyze the related data.Results During the follow-up period,71 patients (72 limbs in total) developed ISR and the incidence of ISR was 67.3％ (72/107).The incidences of ISR in the stent-fracture group and non-fracture group were 84.2％ (32/38) and 58.0％ (40/69) respectively,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.01).Conclusion After stent implantation of femoral popliteal artery,fracture of stent is one of the important risk factors for the occurrence of ISR.

Objective To explore the value of wound blush in predicting patients' ulcer healing whom with critical limb ischemia after revascularization.Methods Retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 173 cases of critical limb ischemia with ischemic ulcers under thetreatment of endovascular therapy followed the concept of angiosome.According to the condition of wound blush after endovascular therapy,by compared the difference of limb salvage rate and ulcer healing time,and try to analyze the value of wound blush in predicting ulcer healing in patients.Results Included in the study with a total of 173 cases (173 limbs),group wound blush(+) 109 patients,group wound blush (-) 64 cases,the age,proportion of male patients,smoking history,diabetes,coronary heart disease,chronic renal insufficiency,pre and post operative ankle brachial index,were no statistical difference between the two groups.The ulcer healing time of group wound blush (+) was significantly shorter than that of group wound blush(-) (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of ulcer healing in group wound blush(+) was significantly higher than that in group wound blush(-) (P ＜ 0.05).In group wound blush(+),the cumulative rate of limb salvage was statisticallyhigher than group wound blush (-) (P ＜ 0.05).By logistic regression analysis,wound blush(-) (OR =4.5,P ＜ 0.05),IRc revascularization (OR =2.6,P ＜ 0.05) were independent risk factors of ulcer healing.Conclusions The resoult of wound blush(+) shows a good distal perfusion of foot.It can be used as a predictive factor for critical limb ischemia ischemic ulcer healing,and wound blush (-) was an independent risk factor for ulcer nonhealing.
