Why stents? • Balloon-only angioplasty is fraught with: • Elastic recoil • Flow-limiting dissection • Constrictive remodeling • Neointimal hyperplasia • Biocompatibility • Stents may address these issues

Take home messages • Primary stenting with self-expandable bare-metal stents is considered by many the standard of care for iliac and superficial femoral arteries • Bail-out drug-eluting stenting is beneficial for infra-popliteal lesions • Conversely, stents (any) should be avoided in common femoral or popliteal arteries • Further clinical evidence is needed before deciding on the role of absorbable stents and femoral drug-eluting stents
