Purpose: To evaluate the effectivity, safety and midterm patency rates of iliac and femoral stent placement with the Memotherm stent (Bard-Angiomed, Karlsruhe). Material and Methods: In 41 patients (11 female, 30 male, mean age 63.9 years) 49 lesions were treated with 50 stents. Mean lesion length was 4.8 cm for 5 occlusions and 3.1 cm for 44 stenoses. Lesions were located in the common iliac (n = 31), the external iliac (n = 15), and the common femoral artery (n = 3). Patients were followed-up clinically, with ankle-brachial indices (ABI), and angiography. Angiographic patency rates (less than or equal to 50% restenosis) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. ABls were compared before and after therapy with the Wilcoxon test. Results: An immediate technical success was achieved in 48/49 lesions (98%, intention-to-treat). Visibility of the stent was poor. Four stent placement procedures were complicated by an advancement of the stent, which could not be corrected. A thrombosis of one stent during deployment had to be treated surgically. After a mean of 10.4 months (6-24) 33 lesions were followed-up with angiography. The primary angiographic patency rate was determined to be 89,9 % after 9 months. An improvement of at least one Fontaine stage was observed in 85,4 %. The mean ABI increased significantly from 0.64 to 0.84 after therapy. Conclusions: The patency rate of the Memotherm stent is comparable to that of other stent systems. The poor visibility and the advancement of the stent during deployment requires further modifications.
