Stenting iliac arteries has been shown to benefit peripheral artery disease patients out to two years, according to a recent study.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common circulatory problem among U.S. adults over the age of 50. Clogged or narrowed arteries in the legs affect some 10 million Americans, including 12% to 20% of those over the age of 65. Among those over the age of 70, one in five has been diagnosed with PAD. The disease is expected to become more prevalent as the U.S. population ages and cases of obesity and diabetes rise.
