Cool Excimer Laser-Assisted Angioplasty vs Tibial Balloon Angioplasty in Management of Infragenicular Tibial Arterial Occlusion in Critical Lower Limb Ischemia TASC D

11/02/2011

Sherif Sultan, MD

Endovascular revascularization (EVAR) is the current gold standard and first line of therapy for critical limb ischemia. However, despite the advances of EVAR, there is still concern about its capability for treating complex tibial lesions.

Endovascular revascularization...
