Abstract
Between June 1978 and December 1980 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was performed in 194 patients with stenosis and/or occlusions of the femorocrural axis; it was primarily successful in 181. After 1 year there were 160 survivors, in 143 (89.4%) of whom the affected arteries were patent. A group with special problems and difficulties were those patients suffering from arterial occlusive disease in the popliteocrural region.
