Abstract
Up to 1985, in crural obliterations, we used only single Teflon catheters or balloon dilatation according to Güntzig (5, 7, 10, 16, 17] for treatment of occlusions and stenoses of the popliteal and proximal tibial arteries. As a result of the introduction of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), balloon catheters of diameters smaller than 5 mm and coaxial coronary balloon-catheters have increasingly also been used. The indication in most cases was to improve the run-off flow in patients who previously had an angioplasty of the femoral or popliteal artery. In patients with critical limb ischemia and multiple obliterations in lower-leg arteries, also angioplasty in one or two crucal arteries has been successful to an increasing extent [11, 13, 15].
