    Peripheral arterial disease affects approximately 6.5 million individuals in the U.S., with a significant portion located in the iliac arteries.

    The study analyzed 1,886 patients from the Vascular Quality Initiative database who underwent aortoiliac artery interventions between 2012 and 2017.

    Balloon-expandable stents showed a higher one-year primary patency rate (98.4%) compared to self-expanding (97.1%) and covered stents (96.3%).

  • 4

    At three years, there was no significant difference in primary patency rates among the three stent types, indicating similar long-term outcomes.

  • 5

    Stent selection for aortoiliac interventions should consider factors like cost and lesion characteristics rather than relying solely on long-term patency.
