The MIMICS FLOW Study is a single-center, single-blind, investigator-initiated, randomized parallel group trial.~The impact of a novel biomimetical stent with a helical curvature provides superior hemodynamic and biomechanical performance and advantages. Additionally, it promotes swirling blood flow, elevating wall sheer strength, which is patency-protective and might impact on vascular functions due to completely different vascular properties through altered blood flow.~The influence of the novel devices and stent-platforms with improved hemodynamic capabilities with respect to vasomotor of the vessel wall, vascular function and vascular compliance can be measured by FMD, arterial stiffness indices and vascular strain analysis.
The aim of this IIT is to determine the potential improvement and impact of the BioMimics 3D Stent System in the SFA on local vascular function.
