Abstract:
Atherosclerosis obliterans of lower extremity artery mainly involve the aorto-lliac artery,femoral-popliteal artery and below-knee arteries.At present the major treatment of the disease is endovascular treatment.Due to anatomical differences between the three arteries,the principles and effect of endovascular treatment are different.The endovascular treatment of iliac- femoral lesions,because of its patency rate not lower than surgery,has become the preferred way.On account of the high incidence of femoral- popliteal lesions and the dissatisfaction for patency rate,the endovascular treatment of femoral-popliteal lesions has become a hot research.Endovascular therapy in the below-knee arteries is still in the exploration,currently a small balloon-based.
