3-Year Outcomes After DES/DCS Implantation for Femoropopliteal CTO: The HAWK Study

3-Year Outcomes After DES/DCS Implantation for Femoropopliteal CTO: The HAWK Study

The HAWK study demonstrated that endovascular therapy using DES or DCS for long CTO in the femoropopliteal artery achieved acceptable 3-year clinical outcomes in real-world practice, while prior EVT and a smaller reference vessel diameter were identified as independent predictors of restenosis, according to a study presented by Dr. Naoki Hayakawa, Asahi General Hospital, in the Late Breaking Clinical Trials session at CVIT 2026.

The multicenter, retrospective HAWK study enrolled 328 patients with 367 femoropopliteal CTO lesions...
