Combined iliofemoral endarterectomy and covered stenting of the EIA for treatment of severe occlusive lesions provided acceptable midterm results, probably because of the gain of diameter provided by covered stents. This technique avoids complications due to an aortic or iliac surgical approach and clamping as well as complications related to the presence of a prosthetic implant in an intra-abdominal position.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
