Abstract

We report the results of 50 angioplasty procedures via the popliteal artery. A 3-year follow-up including control of blood pressures at ankle and toe levels show results comparable to reports in the literature. This new approach for angioplasty of the superficial femoral artery and eventually of coexisting iliac lesions enables treatment of previously inaccessible lesions. The technique is especially suited for lesions close to the takeoff of the superficial femoral artery.
