In the coronaries, the role of drug-eluting stents (DES) is already well defined. However, in the peripheral arteries very limited data exists about their potential benefit.

Acute limb ischemia is a clinical emergency with a high rate of morbidity and mortality, despite the technical success of surgical revascularization. Elderly patients are at a particularly high risk of severe local and systemic complications.

Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms has become an accepted and often preferred method of therapy. However, the influence of endograft design (i.e., bifurcated versus aorto-uni-iliac) on outcomes is unknown.
