Abstract

The recent and continuing developments in radiotherapy, gene therapy, and the technologies of imaging, materials, and devices, as well as the techniques for their implementation, have expanded the options available for the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. Though long-term data are still lacking, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) has developed into a treatment modality in its own right and continues to be an adjuvant treatment to traditional surgical revascularization. Numerous stents and grafts are currently available for the treatment of arterial lesions and aneurysms, while the testing of many more continues. In addition to these new devices, developments in gene therapy and brachytherapy have brought several new minimally invasive options to the treatment of peripheral vascular disease.
