  • Title: Adventitial Cystic Disease of the Popliteal Artery Contributing to Supera Stent Fracture.
    Author: Patel NJ, Gordon G, Mhatre AU, Verma DR, Pershad A, Heuser RR.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2019 Jun; 31(6):E160-E161. PubMed ID: 31158817.
    Abstract:
    A 60-year-old male presented with complaints of a non-healing wound on his right shin. Initial angiography showed a 100% occlusion of the right superficial femoral artery thought to be thrombotic in nature; he was treated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting. Three weeks later, he presented with continuing symptoms of claudication. Angiography revealed stent fracture. Careful review of his prior angiogram was consistent with adventitial cystic disease of the popliteal artery as the cause of the popliteal artery occlusion. He was then referred for femoral-popliteal bypass.
