Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease is common in the developed world, affecting approximately 14% to 20% of the adult population. The determination of the best method of revascularization or treatment of symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is based upon the balance between risk of a specific intervention and the degree and durability of the improvement that can be expected from this intervention. Hybrid revascularization combines open surgery with endovascular procedures to treat multilevel vascular disease. The use of hybrid procedures permits vascular reconstruction that is less invasive than traditional surgical repair. The optimal strategy for revascularization will continue to evolve, but surgery continues to play a significant role in managing patients with PAD.
