Failure of endovascular stenting for popliteal cystic disease.
We describe an attempted endovascular stenting for popliteal artery stenosis secondary to adventitial cystic disease in a 56-year-old man with lifestyle-limiting claudication. Despite technical success, it remained patent only for 1 week, requiring interposition venous graft reconstruction eventually.
