Interwoven self-expandable stent is a recent endovascular method to treat complex femoropopliteal lesions trying to reach a reasonable patency and durability like in surgical bypass.
Stenting of the femoro-popliteal segment is indicated in case of elastic recoil, flow-limiting dissection, insufficient per- cutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or long lesion length. However, in-stent restenosis (ISR) or fracture after endovascular treatment remains a serious concern, especially for lesions of a long segment or near the knee joint. Besides the current availability of covered or drug-coated stents, there is the self-expandable bare-metal Nitinol stent which rapidly evolved during the last decade from closed-cell to open-cell and, more recently, to interwoven stents. interwoven nitinol stent design of fully connected structures facilitates a continuous but a traumatic synergy between the stent and vessel wall and hence enables axial compliance. Investigators here conduct a prospective study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of self- expandable nitinol stent especially interwoven supera stent (IW; Supera Veritas®; Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) in femoropopliteal complex occlusive lesions.

peak systolic velocity in centimeters per second (cm/sec) through the deployed stent in serial duplex imaging
Crossing the lesion and deploying the stent without residual stenosis or degree of stenosis is less than 30% and assess the time the stent remains patent without re interventions. the outcome will be measured on clinical aspect and imaging aspect. Clinically ,investigators will trace the ankle brachial index (ankle systolic pressure relative to systemic systolic pressure), wound healing progress through cascade measuring of ulcer diameter in centimeters till complete healing and pain improvement depending on visual analogue score from 0 to 10.Imaging follow up, investigators will trace diseased segment diameters after intervention in millimeters and peak systolic velocity through the stent in centimeters per second.
