Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the iliac artery.

Abstract:

:Stenosis in the right common iliac artery of a 61-year-old man was manifested as pain in the right leg and foot and cyanosis of the second and third toes. Dilatation of the lesion was performed using a Grüntzig catheter; arteriography and measurement of femoral artery pressure confirmed a successful result. The patient was pain free at six-month follow-up. Dilatation of stenoses by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty provides an alternative to conventional operative procedures, with lower cost and morbidity plus an acceptable success rate.
