Endovascular Versus Open Revascularization for Peripheral Arterial Disease

Endovascular Versus Open Revascularization for Peripheral Arterial Disease.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine whether endovascular or open revascularization provides an advantageous approach to symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) over the longer term. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The optimal revascularization strategy for symptomatic lower extremity PAD is not established. METHODS We evaluated amputation-free survival, overall survival, and r...

Surgical infrainguinal revascularization for peripheral arterial disease: factors affecting patency rate

Background: Peripheral arterial disease is a source of morbidity and mortality. Surgical vascular reconstruction is a treatment option but probability of failure and complications are important concerns. In this study, we evaluated outcome of surgical infrainguinal reconstruction and factors affecting graft patency for a period of one year. Methods: In this cohort study, 85 consecutive patie...

Revascularization for Lower Limb Peripheral Arterial Disease

[Endovascular procedures for peripheral arterial disease].

Since the introduction of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for peripheral arterial disease in the mid-1970s, PTA on occlusive ilio-femoral arterial lesions has become a widely accepted technique. As endovascular techniques have the advantage of lower morbidity and mortality risk compared with open surgical revascularizations. PTA has been applied for the treatment of focal disease. D...
