title: Current Status and Outcomes of Iliac Artery Endovascular Intervention.
abstract: Aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD) is widely prevalent and leads to significant limitations in patient quality of life. All patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease should be managed with approved medical therapies in addition to a supervised exercise program. Persistence of significant symptoms despite noninvasive therapy should prompt further management with endovascular revascularization. Although patients with the most complex cases of AIOD anatomy may ultimately require surgery, advances in endovascular techniques have made it possible to treat most of these patients with AIOD using an endovascular-first approach.
