<body>
<p>Percutaneous interventions on lesions in aortoiliac localization have been in focus of interest from the very beginning of interventions because of anatomic suitability and very good short and long-term results. New guidelines from European Society of Cardiology on Peripheral Artery Disease (<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="r1"><italic>1</italic></xref>) published in 2017 made changes in categorization of lesions by abandoning TASC II classification. Endovascular approach has I C recommendation for first choice treatment of occlusive lesions up to 5 cm in length. More complex lesions should be considered for endovascular-first strategy in patients with severe comorbidities. In general, endovascular treatment of peripheral artery disease in aortoiliac localization has a very important role after optimal medicament treatment and supervised exercise training.</p>
