Title: Endovascular Treatment for Aortoiliac Occlusive Lesions with Covered Stent

Abstract

Generally, the outcomes of endovascular treatment for aortoiliac occlusive arterial diseases are favorable. However, there are reports suggesting better outcomes with covered stents compared to bare-metal stents in lesions at the aortic bifurcation. In our department, we have adopted the use of covered stents for endovascular treatment of aortoiliac occlusive arterial diseases, specifically for aortic bifurcation lesions, severe calcified lesions, concurrent dilatational changes, and in-stent restenosis, achieving satisfactory results. This presentation shares our experience with the use of covered stents in the aortoiliac region.
