Abstract

Iliac artery angioplasty and stenting are widely considered the classical and defining endovascular interventions performed for patients with peripheral vascular disease, offering comparable outcomes to surgery with reduced morbidity and mortality. We evaluate the accumulated evidence base for aortoiliac intervention and present the salient technical aspects, potential complications and ‘bail-out’ techniques that the operator should be familiar with. Future technologies on the horizon to address the problem of post-intervention restenosis are also considered.
