Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The clinical effect of peripheral arterial stents in treating arteriosclerotic occlusive disease is good. But there is no perfect peripheral arterial stent up to now. To master the characteristics of various stents and flexible application is the key to good effect.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the research progress of peripheral arterial stent placement in treating arteriosclerotic occlusive disease.
METHODS: A computer-based search was performed to retrieve PubMed from 1968-01 to 2011-11 using the keyword of “stent”. The language is restricted in English. Totally 107 articles were retrieved, and 40 articles met the requirement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Peripheral arterial stent placement in treating arteriosclerotic occlusive disease is safe and effective. The stent materials mainly include stainless steel, nickel titanium alloy, cobalt-based alloy, tantalum metal, magnesium alloy, high polymer material and variety of material compound stents. In-stent restenosis is the main complication. Postoperative complications such as stent fracture have been reported occasionally. Drug therapy has been widely accepted after stent implantation. To master the characteristics of various stents and indications can improve the patency rate and reduce the stent complication after stent placement. Development of new stents to improve patency rate has become the future research direction.
