Abstract

The relative role of percutaneous therapy versus bypass surgery for femoropopliteal occlusive disease (FPD) represents an area of great controversy in the field of vascular medicine. This controversy is complicated by the very dynamic therapeutic options that continue to be introduced, particularly on the endovascular side. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the current diagnostic modalities available to characterize the level and degree of vascular insufficiency and summarize the currently available endovascular therapeutic options with their clinical role and outcomes. Finally, future therapeutic advances that will soon be evaluated in clinical trials will be discussed. Cathet Cardiovasc Intervent 2002;56:555–561. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
