BACKGROUND Stenting of infrainguinal lesions can be rather challenging due to the mechanical stress applied on the arteries during motion. We assessed the short-term and mid-term safety and efficacy of Supera interwoven nitinol stent for the treatment of infrainguinal arterial disease. METHODS We conducted a systematic review for articles published from December 2011 up to May 2021 regarding studies assessing the safety and efficacy of Supera interwoven nitinol stents for the treatment of infra-inguinal peripheral arterial disease. Studies that involved synchronous application of the Supera stent and drug delivering devices, or any alternative endoprosthesis were excluded. Pooled Kaplan-Meier survival curves and smoothed hazard estimates were generated. Data were meta-analyzed using a random effects model. Primary endpoints included primary patency and freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TRL). Secondary endpoints included technical success and major amputation at 1 year post intervention. RESULTS Seventeen studies with 2015 patients (65.3% males) and a mean lesion length of 137.2 mm were included. Of the total treated lesions, 44.9% involved femoropopliteal artery and 37.4% the popliteal artery. Chronic total occlusions made up 49% of the treated lesions. There were no stent fractures reported. The pooled technical success rate is 99.84% (95% CI: 99.26-100). Pooled major amputation rate at 1 year is 1.48% (95% CI: 0.47-2.87). Pooled primary patency and freedom from TLR rates at 1 year are 83.5% (95% CI: 80.24-86.54) and 90.32% (95% CI: 88.75-91.79), respectively. Pooling of individual patient data produced primary patency and freedom from TLR rates of 84.48% (95% CI: 82.66-86.11) and 90.81% (95% CI: 88.64-92.58) respectively. According to the smoothed hazard ratio estimate the risk for losing primary patency peaked between 4 and 5 months while the risk for TLR peaked between 7 and 8 months after the intervention. CONCLUSIONS This review and meta-analysis indicated the safety and efficacy of Supera stents for the treatment of challenging infrainguinal lesions in the short-term and mid-term periods, with acceptable primary patency and freedom from TLR rates. Clinicians should be aware that between 4 and 5 months patients face a higher risk for event occurrence.
