The management of aortoiliac occlusive disease is a rapidly evolving field in vascular medicine and surgery. There are multiple approaches that must be considered, ranging from medical management to endovascular and open surgical procedures. The introduction of percutaneous endovascular techniques has significantly changed the landscape of the field forever. We will compare and contrast different treatment strategies and critically review the available literature to allow for evidence-based clinical decisions to be made about the surgical and endovascular management of aortoiliac occlusive disease.
