- Abstract: Femoropopliteal (FP) artery-in stent restenosis (ISR) is a daunting management problem that we continue to face. FP artery-ISR rates after primary stent implantation are relatively high. Although repeat FP artery-ISR and the need for additional interventions remain all too common, little consensus exists regarding the best treatment algorithm. In this article, we review the limitations of the currently used devices for the endovascular treatment of FP artery-ISR and discuss which strategies are the most effective and safe.
