Abstract
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was used in the treatment of 17 segmental, arterial
stenoses in 12 patients. Successful dilatation was achieved in 88% of lesions with
documented hemodynamic improvement in all successful cases. The technique has been
applied as the sole treatment in certain cases of isolated iliac stenosis. It also
has been used to improve arterial inflow prior to more distal reconstruction, as well
as to treat localized disease progression in patients with previous arterial reconstruction.
It must be considered a new adjunct in the management of patients with arterial occlusive
disease.
