Infrapopliteal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty: what we know.Radiology, 200 1
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) can be performed safely in arteries below the knee by using current coaxial catheters. This study includes 37 consecutive patients treated between March 1992 and March 1999 by PTA for limb-threatening infrageniculate occlusive artery disease. The mean duration of follow-up was 28 months. Limb salvage was achieved in 32 patients. The actuarial limb salvage rate at 2 years was 87 ± 6%. This study shows that PTA was a viable alternative to surgical treatment for management of critical lower extremity ischemia in carefully selected patients. Limb salvage rates after PTA and conventional surgical revascularization seem comparable. Based on these findings, we recommend that PTA be attempted, whenever possible, for initial treatment of patients presenting critical, limb-threatening ischemia due to isolated or multiple stenoses of below-knee arteries.
