However, the optimal revascularization method must be selected based on (1) patient risk, (2) limb severity, and (3) anatomical pattern of disease. Therefore, vascular surgeons need to understand the characteristics of endovascular treatment and surgical treatment and improve the technical skills of both procedures. Here is an overview of the current methods of revascularization.
