Abstract
Repeated restenotic events are common in superficial femoral artery and as of late, Viabahn stent grafts have been FDA (U.S. Food & Drug Administration) approved. Viabahn have been particularly attractive given that they provided a physical barrier for the development of neointimal hyperplasia. This particular feature however, also underscores one of the main limitations of the therapy; providing a physical barrier of collateral circulation and predisposing to acute limb ischemia. Viabahn endograft thrombosis is characterized by stent edge stenosis and endograft thrombosis. Here we present 2 cases of Viabahn graft thrombosis successfully treated with the Jetstream atherectomy device, a rotational cutter with aspiration capacity.
