Abstract: | In the femoropopliteal arterial segment, balloon angioplasty is a recommended treatment strategy for short lesions. Over the past few years, several reports have emerged on the potential role of self-expanding stents for treating longer, more complex disease segments where the patency following balloon angioplasty is notoriously dismal. This paper will attempt to review the emerging role of nitinol stents for treating patients with chronic lower limb ischemia, secondary to severe femoropopliteal arterial disease. |
