Surgery
Severe stenotic lesions should be treated by angioplasty or surgical revascularization during periods of remission.
Indications for surgical repair or angioplasty are as follow:
- Renovascular stenosis causing hypertension
- Coronary artery stenosis leading to myocardial ischemia
- Extremity claudication induced by routine activity
- Cerebral ischemia and/or critical stenosis of 3 or more cerebral vessels
- Aortic regurgitation
- Thoracic or abdominal aneurysms larger than 5 cm in diameter
- Severe coarctation of the aorta
