Endovascular revascularization for aortoiliac occlusive disease has made remarkable progress over the years. Despite the excellent results achieved with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting, there remains a risk for restenosis and a need for repeat intervention when stents are used to treat complex aortoiliac bifurcation disease and TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) C and D iliac lesions. The use of covered stents is an innovative treatment option with potential for preventing and better treating restenosis in the iliac arteries.

Covered stents are composed of fabric or graft material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), covering a metal stent. They have various clinical applications in peripheral arterial disease management. Applications include treatment of atherosclerotic disease, sealing iatrogenic vessel perforations or ruptures, exclusion of an...
