Surgical Treatment of Stent Restenosis after Long Segment Placement into the Superficial Femoral Artery

Endovascular stent placement is taking place of the bypass surgery in patients with peripheral arterial disease, over the last decade. However, patency of the long segment stents, below knee disease, advenced age, absence of distal runoff, diabetes and chronic renal disease are still challenging. Surgical bypass for the superficial femoral artery occlusive disease to the below the knee stenosis by using autologous vein graft has still good results. Here we present a 55 year old male who had long segment superficial femoral artery atherosclerotic disease. He had a history of long segment endovascular stent placement. We extracted the restenotic stent and performed bypass with PTFE graft to the below the knee.
