Vascular calcifications (VCs) may be a prognostic factor for outcome after endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Semiquantitative analysis with X-ray imaging is the main limiting factor for assessing VCs. The aim of the present study was to find a correlation between the amount of VC with computed tomography (CT) scan quantification and midterm results of endovascular treatment of Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus C/D femoropopliteal (FP) lesions.
