<br/><br/> Randomized data comparing balloon angioplasty to stenting in the femoral artery appears to show decreased complications with stent utilization. Complex lesions such as occlusions, associated with longer procedure times and frequent equipment manipulations, may predispose to higher rates of complication than those seen in the treatment of simple stenotic lesions. (2) Endovascular treatment options have evolved since the 1990s to become the first-line treatment of lower extremity occlusive disease in many instances despite A meta-analysis of superficial femoral artery angioplasty versus exercise therapy in patients with intermittent claudication found similar 3-and 6-month quality of life outcomes but improved ankle to brachial index in those with endovascular intervention
