Current developments in endovascular therapy of peripheral vascular disease.


ABSTRACT: More than 200 million people worldwide have peripheral artery disease (PAD) or its most severe manifestation, critical limb ischemia (CLI). While endovascular treatment has become first line therapy in most cases, a number of challenges remain for optimal treatment of femoropopliteal (FP) or infrapopliteal (IP) disease, especially when these lesions are severely calcified, chronic total occlusions (CTOs) or in-stent restenosis (ISR). Continued evolution of technologies has significantly improved the outcomes for endovascular treatment. A number of new devices are in the pipeline right now, including new paclitaxel eluting stents and balloons, intravascular lithotripsy to treat severely calcified lesions, adventitial delivery of anti-restenotic agents to limit restenosis rates, and percutaneous femoro-popliteal bypass.
