Percutaneous Revascularization Procedures for Lower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease

Revascularization (either surgical or percutaneous) is a treatment option for certain individuals with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease. Percutaneous revascularization procedures include balloon angioplasty, stent procedures, and atherectomy. Lithotripsy is proposed as a vessel preparation option to facilitate definitive endovascular treatment in heavily calcified lesions.
