Abstract:
Lower extremity artery disease affects more than 230 million people worldwide, leading to significant cardiovascular and limb-related complications. Recent advancements in endovascular treatment, driven by technological innovations and increasing patient prevalence due to aging populations and lifestyle diseases, has contributed to a growing demand for endovascular treatment. In Japan, the number of endovascular treatment procedures has increased specifically among cardiologists, whereas the involvement of interventional radiology physicians remains limited. This review explores the latest trends and clinical outcomes of endovascular treatment, and the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, including the role of interventional radiology physicians. The findings encourage greater involvement of interventional radiology physicians in endovascular treatment.
