Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the distal abdominal aorta and its bifurcation
Abstract:
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of stenotic lesions in the distal abdominal aorta and its bifurcation was performed in 14 patients, 6 of whom were women. The stenotic segment in the aorta or aortic bifurcation was usually the only significant lesion. The double-balloon technique was used in 12 patients via bilateral femoral artery catheterizations. In 2 other patients with aortic lesions, a single large balloon sufficed. Good results were achieved in all but 1 patient, with minor complications occurring in 3 instances. The follow-up period varied from 6 months to 5 years. We believe that PTA is the procedure of choice in treating localized lesions of the distal abdominal aorta and its bifurcation, especially when distal vessels are relatively uninvolved.
