Endovascular treatment for patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) has expanded its indications owing to the evolution of devices, improvements in techniques, and the establishment of clinical evidence. In particular, improvements in balloon and stent performance have significantly contributed to improved treatment outcomes. Herein, we describe the current status of basic balloon- and stent-related topics for the treatment of LEAD. (This is a translation of Jpn J Vasc Surg 2024; 33: 281-288.).
