While conservative measures remain the initial approach for chronic, stable symptoms, endovascular therapies have gained prominence due to their minimally invasive nature, expedited recovery times, and preservation of future treatment options when performed correctly. Options for endovascular interventions include balloon angioplasty (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [standard], drug-coated balloon), stenting (bare metal, drug-eluting, covered stents), with or without adjunct therapy (atherectomy or intravascular lithotripsy). Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated superior outcomes with drug-coated balloons and drug-eluting stents over bare metal stents or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty alone, particularly in long, heavily calcified lesions. However, challenges such as in-stent restenosis, stent fracture, and in-stent thrombosis persist, driving ongoing innovation in device technology and drug formulations on devices. Emerging therapies such as bioresorbable scaffolds and percutaneous bypass devices offer promising alternatives.
