Pre-procedural color duplex ultrasound evaluation predicts restenosis after long-segment superficial femoral artery stenting.

CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that pre-procedural color duplex ultrasound evaluation is helpful for the selection of appropriate candidates for superficial femoral artery stent placement. Cumulative lesion length ≥25 cm, plaque calcification, poor distal runoff, and chronic renal failure independently predicted in-stent restenosis.
