Patients with AID frequently present lesions in other arterial territories, particularly in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), which may lead to more challenging and higher risk outcomes in patients. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) of SFA disease in patients undergoing aortoiliac revascularization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective cohort study included all consecutive patients who underwent elective aortoiliac revascularization between January 2013 and September 2022 at both a central and a district hospital, representing two healthcare facilities within the Portuguese Health System. Only patients with aortoiliac Transatlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II type D lesions were included, excluding those with aortoiliac aneurysmal disease. Moreover, patients with severe multivessel disease in other arterial areas, apart from the aortoiliac artery and SFA, were excluded. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and procedural details were collected. Outcomes were assessed in the first 30 days post-procedure and during long-term follow-up. Statistical analyses included Kaplan\u2013Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 133 patients were included, with a mean age of 62.3 \u00b1 9.23 years; 94.0% were male, and a median follow-up of 61 [IQR: 55.0\u201367.0] months.
