Progress in the treatment of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans with intracavitary volume reduction

Abstract

Arteriosclerosis obliterans(ASO) of lower limbs is a common vascular disease in clinic. The main treatment methods of ASO include medical treatment, surgical treatment and endovascular treatment. Endovascular therapy has been widely used in clinical treatment because of its small trauma and rapid recovery. Endovascular therapy includes percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and intraluminal volume reduction. Intravascular volume reduction has become the focus of the development of endovascular therapy. It is a prerequisite for the treatment of ASO to master various intraluminal therapy methods. This article focuses on the progress of intracavitary volume reduction therapy in ASO. Key words: Arteriosclerosis; Arterial occlusive diseases; Therapeutic uses; Intracavitary volume reduction
