Infragenicular Stent Implantation for Below-the-Knee Atherosclerotic Disease: Clinical Evidence From an International Collaborative Meta-Analysis on 640 Patients

Notwithstanding limitations of primary studies, sirolimus-eluting stents appear superior to bare metal and paclitaxel-eluting stents in terms of angiographic and/or clinical outcomes.
