AMERICAN HEART JOURNAL. Predicting long-term prognosis in stable peripheral artery disease with baseline functional capacity estimated by the Duke Activity Status Index

Vichai Senthong MD, Yuping Wu PhD, Stanley L Hazen MD, PhD, W. H. Wilson Tang MD

Background: The ability of a simple self-assessment tool for estimated functional capacity to predict long-term prognosis in patients with established peripheral artery disease (PAD) is unknown. We investigate whether subjective measurement of functional capacity estimated by using the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) questionnaire predicts long-term prognosis in patients with established PAD.

CATHETERIZATION & CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS. Patient‐level meta‐analysis of 999 claudicants undergoing primary femoropopliteal nitinol stent implantation

Krishna J. Rocha‐Singh MD, Joshua A. Beckman MD, Gary Ansel MD, Sean P. Lyden MD, Peter Schneider MD, Manish Mehta MD, Michael Dake MD, Christopher M. Mullin MS, Michael R. Jaff DO

The factors that impact the clinical effectiveness of bare nitinol stents in claudicants with symptomatic femoropopliteal atherosclerosis are incompletely known. The authors analyzed variables that may influence stent durability and provide a benchmark for their effectiveness. Data analyzed from six studies (999 patients) included baseline noninvasive hemodynamic tests, angiographic characteristics, ultrasound defined stent patency and target lesion revascularization through 12‐months. Baseline ankle‐brachial index and lesion length predicted stent patency and target lesion revascularization and when combined interacted significantly to better predict outcomes. This meta‐analysis provides an important comparator against which emerging therapies that treat claudicants with femoropopliteal atherosclerosis can be assessed.

CATHETERIZATION & CARDIOVASCULAR INTERVENTIONS. SUPERB final 3‐year outcomes using interwoven nitinol biomimetic supera stent

Lawrence A. Garcia MD, Kenneth R. Rosenfield MD, Christopher D. Metzger MD, Frank Zidar MD, Ashish Pershad MD, Jeffrey J. Popma MD, Margo Zaugg RN, Michael R. Jaff DO, on behalf of the SUPERB investigators

Importance: Long‐term outcomes of an interwoven nitinol stent design represent the best in class for treatment of lower limb arterial obstructive disease.
