Management of iliac artery disease has evolved over the years, from a surgical-only approach to a primarily endovascular-only approach as the first line treatment option. This has been continuously improved upon with the advent of new devices and applied technologies. Most recently in particular, the literature has shown good, reliable outcomes with the use of self-expandable stents in iliac artery atherosclerotic lesions. Nevertheless, no device is without its limitations, and the Absolute Pro® Vascular Self-Expanding Stent System was designed with the intent of overcoming some of the shortcomings of other available stents while maintaining acceptable postprocedural outcomes. Based on preliminary industry-acquired data, it has achieved these goals and appears to be an emergent competitor for the treatment of both focal and complex iliac artery lesions.
多年来，髂动脉疾病的治疗方法不断演变，从仅采用外科手术的方法发展到以血管腔内治疗作为一线治疗选择为主。随着新设备和应用技术的出现，这种治疗方法也在不断改进。特别是最近，文献表明在髂动脉粥样硬化病变中使用自膨胀支架可取得良好、可靠的效果。然而，没有一种设备是没有局限性的，Absolute Pro® 血管自膨胀支架系统的设计目的是克服其他现有支架的一些缺点，同时保持可接受的术后效果。基于初步的行业数据，它已经实现了这些目标，并且似乎是治疗局灶性和复杂性髂动脉病变的一个新兴竞争对手。
