Preoperative sizing to lower in-stent restenosis in peripheral arterial occlusive disease

The primary treatment for lower extremity peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is angioplasty-stenting. Its main complication is in-stent restenosis. Poor selection of stent dimensions has been identified as a factor contributing to early in-stent restenosis. The aim of this study is to determine whether the implantation of stents, selected based on arterial morphological reconstruction using sizing software, reduces the occurrence of in-stent restenosis. The study also aims to evaluate the potential benefits of routine preoperative sizing.
