The supra-aortic arteries are no stranger to endovascular interventions. Since the 1980s, interventionists have been evaluating and refining the use of transluminal techniques for recanalizing stenotic and occlusive lesions in these large-bore, high-flow vessels. The authors present their methodologies for evaluating, selecting, and treating supra-aortic lesions with balloon angioplasty and stenting. Helpful suggestions are offered for optimizing the outcome of these endovascular approaches to atherosclerotic occlusive disease in the supra-aortic trunks.

Use of endovascular interventions for arterial occlusive lesions continues to increase. With the evolution of the technology supporting these therapeutic measures, the results of these interventions continue to improve. In general, a comparison of techniques for revascularization of iliac occlusive diseases shows similar initial technical success rates for open versus percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Angioplasty is often associated with lower periprocedural morbidity and mortality rates. Conversely, surgery frequently provides greater long-term patency, although late failure of percutaneous therapies may occur but still can be treated successfully with reintervention. The perpetual buildup of experience with angioplasty and stenting will eventually characterize its role in the management of occlusive disease. This review outlines the current consensus and applicability of endovascular management of iliac occlusive diseases.
