Abstract
The past decade has seen a "sea change" in the method of treatment for a large number of arterial vascular disorders. Endoluminal (endovascular) repair of both stenotic and aneurysmal disease has advanced markedly with the rapid evolution of catheter-based technologies, particularly "covered" or "uncovered" stents. A number of traditional surgical procedures (e.g., iliac and renal bypass) have been almost completely replaced by percutaneous endovascular stenting. Most recently, open surgery for carotid stenoses and infrarenal aneurysmal disease has been challenged by less invasive methods. This review discusses the current indications, methods, and outcomes of the endovascular treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysmal disease.
