The patient was treated as part of the mimics 3d usa post-market observational study.On the (b)(6) 2022, the patient was implanted with one biomimics 3d (bm3d) stent in the left leg, a 6.0 x 150 mm stent which was used to treat a denovo lesion of the superficial femoral artery (sfa) distal third to proximal popliteal.A retrograde approach was used and the lesion was prepared using pre-dilation with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) balloon and atherectomy.The treated segment was post-dilated with pta.The site identified a restenosis of treated segment (target lesion) on (b)(6) 2023.It was reported as possibly related to the device and not related to the procedure.It was target lesion related.The patient presented to the clinic on (b)(6) 2023 to be evaluated urgently because of worsening left foot rest pain.Patient had signs and symptoms of critical limb ischemia.He had an ultrasound which demonstrated critically decreased flow to the left lower leg due to a distal sfa occlusion.He had an angiogram on (b)(6) 2023 which revealed a focal area of high-grade stenosis in the proximal sfa and the distal sfa and proximal above the knee popliteal stent is occluded.Laser atherectomy was used in the occluded stent and pta/standard balloon angioplasty of the full length of the sfa and the above the knee popliteal.The physician stented the lesion at the proximal sfa as well as the above the knee popliteal segment across the knee joint, just distal to the previous stent.Completion imaging demonstrated resolution of the disease and occlusion throughout the sfa and popliteal segment.It was reported as a target lesion/vessel revascularisation (tlr/tvr).The outcome was reported as resolved/recovered.The device remains implanted.
