A standard does not yet exist for complex disease in the peripheral arteries. Interventionalists rely on small sets of data and personal experience to provide care, and the solution for this problem is still unclear.

Treatment of in-stent restenosis with standard balloon angioplasty has been associated with poor patency and complications. New therapy options that add lasers and drug-eluting technologies could improve results.
