ENDO-VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS CAN BE AVOIDED *****Knowing When to Quit**** Not every patient should undergo a procedure and not every lesion should be treated with endovascular techniques. When the risk of an endovascular procedure is too high or the potential for success is low, other alternatives should be Considered. Sometimes this point in the decision tree arises during an endovascular procedure! This is a major reason why the techniques of endovascular intervention should be performed by those who regularly manage vascular patients. The quest for the perfect cosmetic result of a reconstruction is seductive, but it does not guarantee long-term patency and may cause a short-term disaster. The temptation to become a lesion-oriented physician, rather than a patient-oriented physician, is counterproductive. Clinical orientation is crucial because the best results come from doing only what is indicated by the clinical condition of the patient.
