To determine the long-term patency of aortoiliac kissing stents and to identify predisposing factors for the development of in-stent restenosis (ISR).
A retrospective analysis was conducted of 105 patients (median age 60.9 years; 64 women) with symptomatic aortoiliac occlusive disease who had kissing stents implanted between 2001 and 2015. The indication for kissing stents was severe claudication in 91 (86.7%) patients and critical limb ischemia in 14 (13.3%). Lesions were TASC A in 52 (49.5%), B in 29 (27.6%), C in 4 (3.8%), and D in 20 (19%) patients. Twenty-five (23.8%) patients had heavily calcified lesions. In all, 210 stents were deployed [180 (85.7%) self-expanding and 30 (14.3%) balloon-expandable]. Follow-up included clinical evaluation, ankle-brachial index measurement, and duplex ultrasonography.
The median follow-up was 45 months. The primary patency rates were 93%, 86%, and 77% at 12, 24, and 60 months, respectively. Significant ISR developed in 23 (21.9%) patients (12 unilateral and 11 bilateral). Univariate Cox regression analysis revealed older age [hazard ratio (HR) 0.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31 to 0.81, p=0.004] and larger aortic diameter (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.7, p<0.001) to be variables favoring long-term patency, while a longer aortic stent segment (HR 1.56, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.09, p=0.003) and a larger discrepancy between the summed stent diameters and the aortic diameter (HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.01 to 2.65, p=0.043) were associated with ISR development. Multivariate analysis showed a longer aortic stent segment to be the only significant determinant of ISR (HR 1.44, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.01, p=0.035).
The kissing stent technique can be performed with good long-term patency. Patients whose iliac stents protrude too far into the aorta need closer follow-up.
确定主动脉-髂动脉吻部支架的长期通畅率,并确定支架内再狭窄(ISR)发生的相关因素。
回顾性分析了 105 例(中位年龄 60.9 岁;64 例女性)患有症状性主髂动脉闭塞性疾病的患者,这些患者在 2001 年至 2015 年间接受了吻部支架植入治疗。91 例(86.7%)患者的适应证为严重跛行,14 例(13.3%)为严重肢体缺血。病变 TASC A 52 例(49.5%),B 29 例(27.6%),C 4 例(3.8%),D 20 例(19%)。25 例(23.8%)患者有严重钙化病变。共植入 210 个支架[180 个(85.7%)为自膨式,30 个(14.3%)为球囊扩张式]。随访包括临床评估、踝肱指数测量和双功能超声检查。
中位随访时间为 45 个月。12、24 和 60 个月时的主要通畅率分别为 93%、86%和 77%。23 例(12 例单侧,11 例双侧)患者出现明显的 ISR。单因素 Cox 回归分析显示,年龄较大(风险比[HR]0.5,95%置信区间[CI]0.31 至 0.81,p=0.004)和主动脉直径较大(HR 0.42,95%CI 0.25 至 0.7,p<0.001)是影响长期通畅率的变量,而主动脉支架节段较长(HR 1.56,95%CI 1.16 至 2.09,p=0.003)和支架总直径与主动脉直径差值较大(HR 1.64,95%CI 1.01 至 2.65,p=0.043)与 ISR 发生相关。多因素分析显示,主动脉支架节段较长是 ISR 的唯一显著决定因素(HR 1.44,95%CI 1.02 至 2.01,p=0.035)。
吻部支架技术具有良好的长期通畅率。髂部支架突入主动脉过长的患者需要更密切的随访。
