Authors' recommendations:
Although one systematic review found that stenting resulted in better outcomes than PTA alone, the other systematic review found insufficient data to suggest that stenting was superior to PTA alone. Limited findings suggested that a routine stent implantation in patients undergoing PTA is not optimal on economic grounds. Guidelines from the Transatlantic Intersociety Consensus (TASC) stated that the evidence was insufficient to recommend stenting as a primary treatment for patients with PAD of the femoropopliteal or tibial arteries, and that if PTA produced suboptimal results, stents were indicated. The limited information may be a consideration for the use of PTA plus stenting for patients with peripheral vascular disease.
