Use of coronary hardware in peripheral vascular interventions: Necessity fostered ingenuity-Is it solution enough?

Use of coronary hardware in peripheral vascular interventions: Necessity fostered ingenuity-Is it solution enough?

In third world countries like India, where there is a paucity of dedicated interventional radiologists and training fellowships in peripheral interventions, it is the onus of the cardiologist to perform peripheral interventions. This coupled with logistic constraints of unavailability of medical ins...
