Recent Advancements in Role of Endovascular Revascularization Procedures in Chronic Limb Ischemia Involving Superficial Femoral Artery

Abstract

PVD (Peripheral vascular disease) of the lower extremities is a major source of morbidity and affects 10 million individuals in India, with the superficial femoral artery being the most common site of involvement. Peripheral artery disorders can be treated using a variety of endovascular procedures. We provide a case series of 35 patients who presented with peripheral vascular disease and were treated with a variety of endovascular techniques including angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting. At the one-month and six-month follow-up visits, all of the patients had shown significant clinical improvement. Endovascular revascularization procure is an useful treatment for lower limb atherosclerotic arterial disease. Also, long term follows up data is needed for better outcome.
