Document details
Angioplasty of the arteries of the femoro-popliteal region.
Description
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the femuro-popliteal arteries with atherosclerotic lesions, was performed in 66 patients. There was an initial clinical success in 80.3% and a late one in 60.7%. Better results were obtained when there was good distal circulation, and the differences were significant. There was no mortality. These results show that PTA is an useful procedure in the treatment of obstructive lesions of femuro popliteal arteries.
