In this study that included 100 patients, after 30 months, insertion of a stent improved role physical quality of life (QoL) scores, but not overall QoL, compared to best medical therapy. By 60 months QoL was similar in the two groups.

Comment: endovascular intervention for SFA disease is not a good long term solution.
