Percutaneous dilatation and recanalization of iliac and femoral arteries

CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology volume 3, pages 207–212 (1980)Cite this article

Abstract

Five-year follow-up studies in patients with superficial femoral arterial occlusions and iliac artery stenoses have demonstrated a high success rate with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty performed by the Dotter technique. The special balloon catheters developed by Grüntzig, a standardized accessory pharmaceutical regimen, and more exact indications have further increased the rate of long-term success; the patency rates now approach 70% after three years. Clinical follow-up studies by Doppler ultrasound are useful for assessing the hemodynamic effects of the procedure.
