Stent implantation strategy of endovascular treatment in aortoiliac occlusive disease / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Aortoiliac occlusive disease is a group of ischemic disease caused by stenosis or occlusion of infrarenal aorta and iliac artery. Gluteus or lower extremity intermittent claudication and even limb-threatening ischemia are most common symptoms. With the development of endovascular devices and techniques, therapeutic options of complex lesions have changed from open surgery to endovascular treatment, which have the advantages including satisfied patency rate, less perioperative complications and fast recovery. This article will review and summarize stent implantation choices and techniques for endovascular treatment in aortoiliac occlusive disease.
