The endovascular treatment of TASC C and D femoropopliteal lesions is technically challenging and run-off seems to be the most critical factor in determining the outcome. Concurrent angioplasty of the tibial vessels can create adequate run-off to avoid stent failure. The CEVERO analysis is a computerized estimation of run-off that might be a useful tool in the decision-making process.
