ailable data, the best results of endovascular first approach for BTK lesions can be achieved with multivessel and tibial (more than peroneal alone) recanalization and Rutherford 4 or 5 ischemia changes, especially if the correct angiosome can be revascularized (direct flow to the feeding artery of the foot) and there is no renal failure. For patients in Rutherford class 6 and extensive gangrene/tissue loss, BTK endovascular strategy alone does not seem to provide ideal results. Outes of interventional therapy for BTK lesions are consistently better when applied in experienced centers with the use of more advanced technology and use of eluting materials. According to limited but randomized evidence, drugeluting stent (DES) placement might be remended in BTK lesions under 40 mm long
