Currently, percutaneous revascularization techniques are recommended for peripheral arterial disease only when limiting or disabling symptoms are present. However, the cost of these procedures is less than that of surgery and the risk is much lower. Additional prospective, randomized studies are needed for better definition of the role of percutaneous techniques in clinical practice. In the future, as techniques evolve and outcomes become better defined, this role may be expanded.
目前，经皮血管重建技术仅在出现限制活动或致残性症状时才推荐用于外周动脉疾病。然而，这些手术的费用低于手术，且风险要低得多。需要更多前瞻性随机研究，以更好地明确经皮技术在临床实践中的作用。未来，随着技术的发展和结果更加明确，这一作用可能会扩大。
