With the continuous development of new instruments and technologies and the unremitting efforts of clinicians, the treatment of occlusive diseases of femoral arteries has been progressing steadily, and has been developing toward safe, effective and minimally invasive approaches. For short-segment occlusion of femoral artery, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or PTA plus bare stent implantation is commonly performed, and has reliable effect. But for complex long occluded lesions of superficial femoral artery, the traditional femoral bypass is an accepted treatment modality. The new Viabahn covered stent graft have made “luminal bypass” become possible. Viabahn stent graft implantation is superior to traditional therapy with significant advantages, higher primary patency rate and comparable outcomes with prosthetic femoral-popliteal bypass surgery. This article reviewed the studies in this aspect.
