Insights

Endovascular abdominal aortic stent graft occlusion can be treated with endovascular techniques, including percutaneous angioplasty. This approach offers an alternative to traditional aorto femoral bypass for complex aortic and iliac artery disease.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Endovascular Therapy

Background:

  • Aorto femoral bypass is the standard treatment for diffuse aortic and iliac artery disease.
  • Endovascular abdominal aortic stent grafts are increasingly used, but occlusion can occur.
