Article Abstract
Dissection occurring after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is associated with decreased vessel patency and an increased incidence of target lesion revascularization. Management of post-PTA dissection with the Tack Endovascular System (Philips, N.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands) has created an effective and durable treatment strategy for infrainguinal dissections. In this report, we discuss the indications and optimal methods for using Tack devices in post-PTA dissections.

Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for peripheral artery disease often results in vascular dissections, increasing the need for additional interventions (target lesion revascularization or TLR).
- A study using a decision-analytic model analyzed the clinical outcomes, costs, and quality of life impacts of using the Tack Endovascular System versus the standard PTA approach, showing lower TLR rates with the Tack-supported strategy.
- The results suggest that focal stenting (using Tack) is cost-effective for non-severe dissections and may even save costs for severe cases while improving patient quality of life, highlighting potential economic benefits in managing dissections post-PTA.

Objective: The Tack Endovascular System is a minimal-metal dissection repair device that is purpose-built to treat post-percutaneous angioplasty (PTA) arterial dissections in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The Tack Optimized Balloon Angioplasty (TOBA) III trial evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the Tack Endovascular System in patients with superficial femoral artery (SFA) and/or proximal popliteal artery (PPA) dissection after PTA with a drug-coated balloon (DCB). The objective of this study is to report the results in the standard- (SL) and long-lesion (LL) cohorts through 24 months.

- The TOBA II trial studied a special treatment for patients who had problems after a type of leg surgery called angioplasty.
- They used a small device called a Tack, which helps fix tears in the blood vessels in the leg.
- After 24 months, most patients were doing well, showing improved health and no major leg amputations.

Article Synopsis
- Timely intervention is crucial for limb salvage in patients with traumatic arterial injuries to the lower extremities, moving from traditional open surgical bypass to more frequent endovascular repair methods.
- A case study describes a 46-year-old male who sustained a tibial/fibular fracture and popliteal artery injury after being hit by a car, with diagnostic imaging revealing significant arterial occlusion.
- After emergency external fixation and angiography, the patient underwent successful endovascular repair without the use of heparin due to a head injury, and he was discharged 16 days later after a stable recovery.
