Cost Effectiveness of Primary Stenting in the Superficial Femoral Artery for Intermittent Claudication : Two Year Results of a Randomised Multicentre Trial
Objective: Invasive treatment of intermittent claudication (IC) is commonly performed, despite limited evidence of its cost effectiveness. IC symptoms are mainly caused by atherosclerotic lesions in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), and endovascular treatment is performed frequently. The aim of this study was to investigate its cost effectiveness vs. non-invasive treatment. Methods: One hundre
