This patient was enrolled in the mimics 3d usa post-market observational registry study.On (b)(6) 2021, the patient was implanted with one 6.0 x 150 mm biomimics 3d (bm3d) stent.It was used to treat a restenotic lesion in the superficial femoral artery (sfa) distal third to proximal popliteal in the right leg.A contralateral approach was used and the treated segment was pre-dilated with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (pta) and post-dilated with pta and a lutonix drug coated balloon (dcb).On the (b)(6) 2024, the site identified an occlusion.It was reported as not related to the device or the procedure but was due to a worsening pre-existing condition.It required percutaneous intervention and thrombolytics.It was reported as target lesion related.The patient had complaints of worsening symptoms of elevation pallor, dependent rubor, pain in right foot which had slowly worsened over the last 3 weeks.Patient had rutherford class iv symptoms (rb iv).Computed tomography (ct) scan on (b)(6) 2024 was reviewed and showed occluded right distal sfa and the popliteal is occluded.Urgent revascularisation of the right sfa was planned.The patient did end up in the emergency department (ed) for worsening leg pain and was admitted to the hospital.Plans for angiogram were unchanged.Peripheral angiogram on (b)(6) 2024 showed the right sfa vessel was occluded in the mid portion extending throughout the remainder of the sfa and the length of popliteal artery.There was successful balloon angioplasty to right sfa and right popliteal and successful initiation of ekos tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) catheter.The external iliac middle third to anterior tibial proximal third was treated with pta/standard balloon angioplasty, thrombolysis and ekos catheter with tpa.The intervention was reported as a target lesion/vessel revascularisation (tlr/tvr).After leaving the cath lab, the ekos was dysfunctional, and the patient returned to the cath lab on (b)(6) 2024 for replacement of the ekos catheter in the common iliac to popliteal distal segment.The new ekos catheter was successfully inserted and tpa was reinitiated.The patient returned to cath lab on (b)(6) 2024 for successful intervention on the chronic total occlusion (thrombosis ruled out as vessels remained occluded) of the right sfa with laser atherectomy, penumbra mechanical thrombectomy, rotarex treatment, angioplasty, and a non-bm3d drug-eluting stent, and viabahn stent graft to the entire sfa and entire popliteal.The external iliac proximal third to peroneal distal third was treated.This intervention was a tlr/tvr.The outcome was reported as resolved/recovered.The device remains implanted.Veryan's date of awareness of this event was the 12-aug-2024.
