title: Stenting in peripheral vascular disease.
abstract: Metallic stents have made an enormous impact on the percutaneous treatment of arterial and venous disease, allowing a range of lesions to be treated using this minimally invasive technique which was not possible previously. This article details the range of stents which are available and how these have revolutionized the treatment of vascular disease.
