BACKGROUND: Focal @entity850 or @entity432 of the infrarenal aorta is rare, and treatment is usually conventional bypass or endarterectomy. However, endovascular treatment has advanced in recent years. The purpose of this retrospective study is to report the results of primary stenting for focal @entity432 and clarify the usefulness of endovascular treatment. METHODS: This study includes 6 consecutive @entity1 (3 @entity1 , 3 @entity1 ; mean age, 59.3 years) with @entity472 or @entity432 who underwent endovascular intervention at our hospital between April 2009 and February 2014. All @entity1 had bilateral intermittent claudication. The mean preoperative ankle-brachial index (ABI) showed a slight to moderate decrease: right 0.668 and left 0.636. The mean lesion site length was 12.5 mm, the percent @entity850 was 90.7%, and @entity730 was present in 3 @entity1 . Primary stenting was performed in all @entity1 . The stent selected was generally a self-expanding stent (SES). For @entity1 with severe @entity730 , the stent selected was a balloon-expandable stent (BES). RESULTS: Four @entity1 received an SES and two @entity1 received a BES. The technical success rate was 100%, no complications occurred, and the mean pressure gradient disappeared or decreased. Symptoms resolved in all @entity1 and the postoperative ABI improved: right 0.923 and left 0.968. During a mean follow-up period of 27 months, there were no recurrent symptoms and no restenosis on CT angiography. CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular treatment should be considered as a first line treatment for focal @entity472 and @entity432 .
