Treatment of femoropopliteal disease in CLTI patients with the use of the heparin-bonded Viabahn is safe and effective with favorable clinical outcomes and low amputation rates. Reinterventions are needed in a subset of the population to maintain endoprosthesis patency. Close follow-up using duplex is recommended to detect potential edge stenosis, allowing treatment before device occlusion.
