A 64-year-old female underwent a successful first percutaneous intervention using MISAGO stents for a de novo femoropopliteal lesion. Subsequently, three more effective procedures were done using balloon catheters for in-stent restenosis. In May 2016, a fourth procedure using Zilver PTX stent for in-stent restenosis was carried out. For this final procedure, we added direct oral anti-coagulant as she had additional problem of popliteal vein thrombosis and her femoropopliteal segment remained clear. A Zilver PTX stent, a drug-eluting stent for a peripheral artery, was expected to bring superior outcomes compared to conventional bare nitinol stents (i.e. MISAGO stent). But subsequent studies reported that Zilver PTX stent was not more effective than conventional bare nitinol stents. In our above mentioned case, her angioscopy findings suggest that her successful outcome appears to be related to the added direct oral anti-coagulant.
