Summary
The provider restores blood flow to the femoral–popliteal arteries by inserting a stent within the femoral–popliteal arterial system via a catheter inserted through a vein, typically via a small puncture over a vein in the groin or open vascular access on the opposite (ipsilateral) side; the procedure includes closure by any method, all imaging including ultrasound guidance and mapping using arteriography during the procedure, and radiological supervision and interpetation (RS&I). This procedure is performed to treat peripheral arterial disease or severe ischemia or claudication in the lower extremities.
