The objective of the work is to study the clinical and haemodynamic evolution, over 1 year, in @entity1 with femoropopliteal arterial pathology treated by means of atherectomy with the @entity575 Hawk device. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nineteen (19) @entity1 were treated between December 2008 and May 2009, collecting data on sex, age, comorbidity and clinical degree, with prospective monitoring over 12 months of clinical symptoms, physical examination and ecodoppler, obtaining results on diameter and peak systolic velocity at different arterial levels. RESULTS: Of the 19 @entity1 , 14 were @entity1 and 5 @entity1 , with a mean age of 70 years, @entity101 (73%), @entity6 (63%) and smokers (63%). Six (6) presented disabling @entity613 and 13 critical @entity63 with @entity1442 in 5. A good arteriographic result was obtained in 12 cases, a stent was placed on the superficial femoral artery in 5 due to suboptimal outcome. Contrast extravasation was observed in 2, with femoropopliteal bypass performed and one exclusion with endoprosthesis for repair. In the ecodoppler after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, a progressive reduction in lumen diameter and peak intraarterial systolic velocity was observed, particularly on the distal superficial femoral artery. After one year, 7 @entity1 (36.8%) were symptom-free, 5 (26.3%) presented mild or moderate @entity613 and 1 @entity1 (5.3%) presented @entity75 . Four (4) major amputations were performed, in 2 the knee was preserved, there were 3 thromboses due to the procedure, a secondary endovascular procedure was performed in one case and a femoropopliteal bypass in another, and there were 2 non procedure-related @entity204 . DISCUSSION: atherectomy with SilverHawk achieves an improvement in clinical degree, with a good rate of extremity salvage in @entity1 with critical @entity63 . In the first year, the ecodoppler shows evolution of the @entity4065 , without this necessarily meaning a clinical worsening.

Clinical and haemodynamic evolution of lesions treated by means of atherectomy with XXXX Hawk in the femoropopliteal sector.
