The majority of the disease derives from superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions.1 Management of complex Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Con- sensus (TASC) C and D lesions is generally performed using surgical bypass.2 However, almost all of the affected patients have multiple comorbidities that may be contraindications for open surgery. Furthermore, if there is no available autologous venous graft, there will be no extra benefit for long-term paten- cy.3 Therefore, endovascular therapy has increasingly become indicated in recent decades. However, the result of simple per- cutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for long SFA lesions remains poor.4,5 BMS proves itself as an efficient treatment in short lesions,6,7 but ...
