title: Current trends in peripheral vascular surgery. When is surgical intervention the best option?
abstract: Surgery continues to play an important role in the management of peripheral vascular disease. Revascularization procedures provide excellent outcomes for many patients at risk for loss of a limb or seriously impaired quality of life. Although endovascular techniques are now being used for managing many vascular problems, the traditional surgical approaches still offer well-documented benefits.
