Long-term outcomes for systematic primary stent placement in complex iliac artery occlusive disease classified according to Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC)-II

PurposeTo compare long-term outcomes of systematic primary stent placement between Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC)-II C/D disease and TASC-II A/B disease.MethodsBetween 1997 and 2009, endovascular treatments with primary stent placement were performed for 533 lesions in 413 consecutive patients with iliac artery occlusive disease.
