Abstract:
Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) has become widely practised and is a significant advance in the treatment of arterial disease. Its use in the treatment of atheromatous abdominal aortic stenoses in thirteen patients is described. Technical success was achieved in all with no complications. In a follow-up period from 7 to 70 months all patients have benefitted and 85% remain symptom free.
