Reintervention in the femoropopliteal artery is frequent and a major driver of cost-effectiveness. High wall shear generated by swirling blood flow is associated with reduced occurrence of atherosclerosis and restenosis. This trial investigated the clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of the BioMimics 3D self-expanding tubular nitinol stent with helical centerline geometry compared with a straight stent in the femoropopliteal artery.
