Abstract

Iliofemoral arterial occlusive disease is a commonly encountered pattern of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with claudication or critical limb ischemia (CLI). Technical advances and clinical trial results have improved the endovascular approach to iliac and superficial femoral artery (SFA) disease, with recent emerging data supporting common femoral artery (CFA) interventions as well. This chapter reviews the background, techniques, data, and advances for treating proximal arterial disease in symptomatic patients.
