[Endovascular operations on leg arteries]
Abstract:
The paper presents the results color duplex scanning (CDS) diagnosis during 42 endovascular operations (40 balloon angioplasties and 2 stentings) on leg arteries with stenoocclusive changes. The operations were successful in 95.5% of cases, as evidenced by angiography and in 83.3% as shown by CDS; there were 7 (16.7%) cases of hemodynamic events, such as angioplastic site thrombosis, intimal dissection, and residual stenosis. Late follow-ups revealed 6 (16%) cases of hemodynamic events, such as angioplastic area thrombosis and reocclusion. CDS permitted evaluation of the patency of leg arterial endovascular intervention areas, which was 44.96+/-19.77% at a follow-up of up to 60 months (mean follow-up period 18.76+/-2.58). Two stents were patent within 24 months.
