What is the role of angioplasty and stenting in the management of ischemic bowel disease?
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stent placement can be considered as an alternative to surgery in patients with more distal lesions.
- Lesions located at the aortic orifices of mesenteric arteries may not be as amenable to dilation and angioplasty because of their fixed diameter.
