Abstract

Tremendous advances have been made in the endovascular treatment of lower-extremity arterial occlusive disease. New technology has enabled operators to successfully revascularize patients with complex arterial occlusive disease. This article summarizes the latest advances in endovascular therapy of aortoiliac and femoral arteries and reviews the clinical outcomes and costs associated with the use of these treatments.
