Abstract

Peripheral drug-eluting stents have improved outcomes in selected patients with peripheral artery disease by reducing restenosis and repeat revascularization compared with plain balloon angioplasty and bare-metal stents. This article reviews long-term efficacy, patency, safety, restenosis patterns, limb outcomes, and clinical implications of drug-eluting stents in femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal arterial disease.
