39 SFA Challenges: Data collection Data collection Endpoint definitions of success Anatomic Binary restenosis (>50%) Discrete vs. diffuse vs. volume definitions Clinical Walking distance ABI Quantifying (and understanding) restenosis Angiographic Duplex Intravascular ultrasound Time course defining durability of intervention Consistent and standardized reporting structure

40 Patient factors with unclear influence on interventional outcomes Inflow/Run-off off status Length of disease Vessel diameter Occlusion vs. stenosis Diabetic status Tobacco status Atheroma volume Calcification Gender

41 Procedural factors with unclear influence on interventional outcomes Stents Number Degree of overlap Compression or stretch during implant Significant oversizing or undersizing Adjunctive debulking

42 SFA: Design challenges This arterial territory response to intervention is poorly understood There are no large-scale data sets from which to establish design goals Such data was critical to the understanding of coronary stent behavior and the opportunity to improve the technology in a focused direction

45 Result of lack of outcome data Current efforts at designing successful devices which will have improved outcomes are at best estimates of the causal relationships In the typically small clinical trials testing in SFA therapies, these devices are subject to variation in subject/vessel characteristics

46 Conclusions Stents are better than (I think) for limited lesion length Long stents are worse than short stents Not all stent fractures are created equal FESTO results not borne out in later trials Alternative therapies (photodynamic, adventitial injection, adjunctive atherectomy,, etc.,) may be useful but as yet untested Drug-eluting balloon looks interesting in spite of lack of clear mechanism VIBRANT trial data will be interesting
