Arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower extremities is the most common lower extremity arterial disease in clinical practice, which may cause critical limb ischemia due to stenosis and occlusion of the artery lumen and the femoropopliteal arteries are very common sites of ASO. On the one hand, traditional endovascular treatment methods face problems of low patency rate and high restenosis rate after surgery. On the other hand, with the continuous support from clinical trials and equipment updates both domestically and abroad, stent placement, as a classic operation method, has exposed many problems in the clinical application of ASO (femoropopliteal lesions), and continuously improved, resulting in various types of stents with different performance and mechanisms for preventing restenosis. Accordingly, this article mainly aims to introduce various types of stent applied in femoropopliteal artery lesions in ASO, summarize the clinical research findings on various new stents both at home and abroad in recent years, and review their applications and problems.
