TAKE HOME MESSAGES • Several devices are available to increase success or patency rates for femoro-popliteal interventions • Most devices are limited by substantial costs and limited evidence base • We recommend to pick a few of these devices (if any at all) and develop a specific expertise in order to maximize safety and efficacy in niche applications
