Percutaneous endovascular treatment of infrainguinal PAOD: Results of the PSI register study in 74 German vascular centers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The percutaneous infrainguinal stent (PSI) register study aimed to collate all percutaneous endovascular procedures for infrainguinal peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) conducted in 74 German vascular centers between September and November 2015 (3 months).
