Peripheral arterial disease is one of the manifestations of systemic atherosclerosis. In the last decade, remarkable technological advances, especially in the stent area, have shifted revascularization strategies from traditional open surgical approaches toward less morbide percutaneous endovascular treatments. However, even with new designed nitinol bare stents, restenosis remains as the major obstacle of this procedures. More recently, drug eluting stent platforms have been used to treat atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease. In this article, we reviewed new studies relevant to drug eluting stents for lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
Periferik arter hastal¤ sistemik aterosklerozun klinik tablolarndan biridir. Son on ylda, özellikle stent alanndaki teknolojik geliflmeler, periferik arter hastal¤ tedavisi için açk cerrahi prosedürler yerine, morbidite oran düflük perkütan endovasküler tedavinin tercih edilmesine neden olmufltur. Bununla birlikte restenoz, yeni dizayn edilmifl çplak nitinol stentlerde bile majör engel oluflturmaya devam etmektedir. Son yllarda ilaç kapl stentler periferik arter hastalklarnn tedavisinde kullanlmaya bafllanmfltr. Bu yazda, yakn zamanda, alt ekstremite periferik arter hastal¤nn tedavisinde ilaç kapl stentlerle yaplmfl çalflmalar ve sonuçlarn inceledik.
