Is the S.M.A.R.T® stent the smart option to treat femoropopliteal disease?

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2018 Jul;92(1):115-116. doi: 10.1002/ccd.27696.

Abstract

The femoropopliteal (FP) artery is a common site for endovascular interventions. S.M.A.R.T.® stent is effective in treating FP lesions with results comparable to other treatment options. Without head-to-head randomized controlled trials, the ideal treatment strategy for FP lesions remains unknown.
