説明
The present study, which aimed to determine the predictors of distal embolization and restenosis after stenting for vein graft disease, retrospectively analyzed 51 consecutive patients who underwent stent implantation for diseased saphenous vein grafts. Follow-up angiography was performed 6 months after the procedure and the clinical and angiographic variables were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression to determine the predictors of distal embolization and restenosis. Initial clinical success was achieved in 49 patients, 44 of whom underwent follow-up angiography and were enrolled in the retrospective analysis. Distal embolization occurred in 6 grafts (13.6%). Multivariate analysis showed that the lesion length and the total cholesterol level were independent predictors of distal embolization. Angiographic restenosis occurred in 13 (26.5%) of 49 lesions. The minimum luminal diameter and the percent diameter stenosis after stenting were associated with the occurrence of restenosis. Multivariate analysis of lesions located in the graft body identified graft age as an independent predictor of restenosis. Distal embolization can occur after vein graft stenting, especially in patients with hypercholesterolemia and diffuse stenosis. The post-stenting minimum luminal diameter and the percent diameter stenosis are predictors of restenosis. In particular, graft age is associated with the restenosis of graft body lesions.
