Objective: Information on outcome of patients with long superficial femoral artery (SFA) obstruction undergoing endovascular treatment is scarce. The present study reports results from a prospective multicenter registry designed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and patency of the aSpire self-expanding polytetrafluoroethylene covered stent (Vascular Architects Inc, San Jose, Calif) in patients with femoropopliteal occlusive disease.Method: The aSpire Registry included 150 patients (166 limbs) enrolled in 16 centers during a 28-month period (2003 to 2005) for medium/long (> 3 cm) occlusion (n = 115) or stenosis (n = 5 1) of the SFA (n = 5 1) or of the proximal popliteal (n = 115) arteries. Procedures were performed for intermittent claudication in 92, for rest pain in 33, and for limb savage in 41. The mean length of arterial segment covered was 107.35 +/- 73.7 mm. Indications for treatment included 44 type B1, 57 type 132, 47 type C1, and 18 type D lesions according to TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus classification. Clinical and ultrasound evaluation was per-formed at discharge and at 1, 6, 12 months, and yearly thereafter. Mean follow-up was 13 months (range, 1 to 36). Primary end points were immediate technical success (vessel recanalization with residual stenosis
