OBJECTIVES: To compare outcomes of mesenteric angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) using iCast covered stents (C-PTAS; Atrium, Hudson, NH) ) or bare metal stents (BM-PTAS) in patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI).
METHODS: We reviewed the clinical data of 225 patients (65 male and 160 female; mean age 72±12 yrs) treated for CMI (2000-2010). Outcomes were analyzed in patients who had primary intervention or re-intervention using BM-PTAS (n=164 patients/197 vessels) or C-PTAS (n=61 patients/67 vessels). End-points were freedom from restenosis, recurrence and re-intervention, and primary and secondary patency rates.
RESULTS: Patients in both groups had similar demographics, cardiovascular risk factors and extent of disease. Mean follow up was 27±12 months. Patients treated by C-PTS had less restenosis, recurrences and re-interventions compared to those treated by BM-PTAS, both in the primary intervention and in the re-intervention groups (p<0.05); primary patency at 2 years was significantly higher for C-PTAS compared to BM-PTAS in the primary intervention group (91±6 vs. 60±5; p<0.003).
CONCLUSIONS: In this non-randomized study covered stents were associated with less restenosis, recurrences and re-interventions in patients undergoing primary interventions or re-interventions for CMI.
