BioMimics 3D Stent in Femoropopliteal Lesions: 3-Year Outcomes with Propensity Matching for Drug-Coated Balloons.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThrough its helical centreline geometry, the BioMimics 3D vascular stent system is designed for the mobile femoropopliteal region, aiming to improve long-term patency and the risk of stent fractures.
methodsMIMICS 3D is a prospective, European, multi-centre, observational registry to evaluate the BioMimics 3D stent in a real-world population through 3 years. A propensity-matched comparison was performed to investigate the effect of the additional use of drug-coated balloons (DCB).
resultsThe MIMICS 3D registry enrolled 507 patients (518 lesion, length 125.9 ± 91.0 mm). At 3 years, the overall survival was 85.2%, freedom from major amputation 98.5%, freedom from clinically driven target lesion revascularisation 78.0%, and primary patency 70.2%. The propensity-matched cohort included 195 patients in each cohort. At 3-year follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in clinical outcomes, such as overall survival (87.9% in the DCB vs. 85.1% in the no DCB group), freedom from major amputation (99.4% vs. 97.2%), clinically driven TLR (76.4% vs. 80.3%), and primary patency (68.5% vs. 74.4%).
conclusionThe MIMICS 3D registry showed good 3-year outcomes of the BioMimics 3D stent in femoropopliteal lesions, demonstrating the safety and performance of this device under real-world conditions, whether used alone or in combination with a DCB.
