Description
Summary:Endovascular treatment of peripheral artery disease has dramatically improved in the past decades; however, occlusive or stenotic lesions of the femoral-popliteal artery segment remain a significant challenge for vascular specialists. Real-time guidance based on vessel visualization might be helpful for successful recanalization. Herein, we present three successful cases of fusion imaging during endovascular treatment of the femoral-popliteal artery segments.
