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

Bypass graft surgery

Bypass graft surgery is the procedure with the best long-term patency rate.
