Endovascular Treatment of No-Stent Zones … Quo Vadis?

This article describes less-invasive endovascular alternatives, such as atherectomy, drug-coated balloons and stenting, and their results. The popliteal artery is also difficult to treat in an endovascular manner due to biomechanical forces during bending and stretching of the knee or leg. Thus, we also describe currently available minimally invasive treatment options for the popliteal artery. PMID: 31476793 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
