Carbon-coated self-expandable stents in patients with atherosclerotic iliac artery disease.

CONCLUSIONS: Use of carbon-coated self-expandable stents in atherosclerotic iliac lesions was safe and effective. At 2 years, the patency rates and the absence of TLR were encouraging. Post-stent balloon dilatation should be recommended in all cases. Older patients and common iliac artery lesions were risk factors for restenosis in the mid-term period.
