Angiographic and Intravascular Imaging Findings for Ultrasound Detected Aneurysmal Degeneration Following Polymer Based Paclitaxel Eluting Nitinol Stent Implantation for Femoropopliteal Artery Occlusion

The Eluvia (Boston Scientific, MN, USA) polymer-based paclitaxel-eluting nitinol stents (PB-PESs) has shown favorable durability in recent clinical trials. However, aneurysmal degeneration (AD) has been identified on duplex ultrasound (DUS) after PB-PES implantation 1. The long-term impact of AD remains unclear.
