OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND The aim was to evaluate the impact of patent tibial arteries on stenting for chronic total occlusions (CTO) in superficial femoropopliteal artery (SFA) lesions. Additionally, the efficacy of additive tibial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was evaluated. METHODS A total of 238 limbs in 199 patients with de novo SFA CTO lesions treated with bare nitinol stents between 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively identified. These limbs were divided into two groups (group A [number of patent tibial arteries at baseline angiogram ≥ 2, 127 limbs in 104 patients] vs. group B [number of patent tibial arteries at baseline angiogram ≤ 1, 111 limbs in 95 patients]). Furthermore, the efficacy of additive tibial PTA on stenting for SFA CTO lesions was evaluated by comparing subgroups (group B with tibial PTA vs. without tibial PTA). The primary end point was freedom from major adverse limb events (MALE) two years after PTA, defined as a composite of ischaemic driven target lesion revascularisation (TLR) and major amputation. RESULTS Group A had a significantly higher MALE free survival rate two years after PTA compared with group B (80.9% vs. 43.5%; p
