Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease affecting quality and length of life. Endovascular revascularization can be used to improve quality of life. The benefit is greatest in patients with subclavian, renal, or iliac artery symptomatic disease. The advent of stents improves the initial technical success rates of angioplasty to more than 90% in most locations. The development of stent: grafts has altered the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms and should be strongly considered as an alternative to open surgery.

D010021	Osteopathic Medicine	A medical discipline that is based on the philosophy that all body systems are interrelated and dependent upon one another for good health. This philosophy, developed in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, recognizes the concept of "wellness" and the importance of treating illness within the context of the whole body. Special attention is placed on the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM.	Medicine, Osteopathic,Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine,Manipulative Medicine, Osteopathic,Medicine, Osteopathic Manipulative
