Abstract

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the femoropopliteal artery is commonly caused by atherosclerosis. It can present with varying clinical symptoms depending on the degree of disease, ranging from intermittent claudication to critical limb ischemia and tissue loss. Therefore, appropriate and timely treatment is required to improve symptoms and salvage the affected limbs. Interventional approaches for femoropopliteal arterial disease commonly include percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, atherectomy, and stent placement. Over the years, endovascular recanalization has been widely performed for treating PAOD due to continuous developments in its techniques and availability of dedicated devices with the inherent advantage of being minimal invasive. In this review, we introduce various types of endovascular treatment methods, discuss the results of clinical research from existing literature, and illustrate the treatment procedures using representative images.

대퇴슬와동맥의 말초동맥폐쇄질환은 일반적으로 죽상경화증에 의해 발생하며, 질병의 정도에 따라 간헐적 파행에서부터 심각한 사지 허혈 또는 조직 손상에 이르는 다양한 증상으로 나타날 수 있다. 따라서, 증상을 개선하고 사지를 형태적, 기능적으로 보존하기 위해서는 적절한 치료가 필요하다. 대퇴슬와동맥 질환에서 시행되는 대표적인 인터벤션 치료로는 혈관 성형술, 스텐트 삽입술, 죽종절제술 등이 있다. 수년에 걸쳐, 혈관 내 재개통술은 최소 침습적이라는 이점과 더불어 시술 방법 및 사용 기기의 지속적인 발전을 토대로 말초동맥폐쇄질환의 치료에 널리 시행되고 있다. 이번 종설에서는 대퇴슬와동맥 질환의 다양한 혈관 내 치료 방법에 대해 소개하고, 문헌 고찰을 통해 현재까지 나온 임상 연구의 결과들을 논의하며, 대퇴슬와동맥질환의 치료에 적용되는 시술 방법에 대한 영상을 제시하여 독자의 이해를 돕고자 한다.
