Abstract

In recent years, improvements in endovascular equipment and the technical skills of operators have led to an increasing number of percutaneous common femoral artery (CFA) interventions. However, there are few reports of the detailed treatment strategy for CFA intervention and its subsequent clinical outcomes. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy (EVT) with a high-pressure balloon for CFA disease. Fifty-five consecutive patients (59 lesions) who underwent EVT with high-pressure ballooning were analyzed retrospectively. The primary endpoint was clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR). The median follow-up was 34.0 months. The mean age was 68.0 ± 10.1 years, and 70.1% were men. The procedural success rate was 98.3%. All patients underwent high-pressure balloon angioplasty (mean pressure 17.7 atm). Clinically driven TLR-free rates at 2, 3, and 4 years were 88.7%, 77.9%, and 74.2%, respectively. Endovascular interventions with high-pressure ballooning for CFA showed an acceptable mid-term freedom rate from TLR.
