Popis: The development of endovascular stents has been a major advance in the treatment of vascular diseases. Endovascular interventions are quickly replacing bypass surgery and endarterectomy as the primary treatment options for stenotic peripheral arterial lesions. Studies using stents in the carotid and iliac arteries have shown acceptable clinical outcome. In this review the basic aspects of different stents are discussed.
