OBJECTIVE: To analyze the technical success rate and short-term clinical results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty ( @entity865 ) in treatment of @entity3657 ( @entity3657 ) in @entity6 ( @entity6 ) @entity1 . METHODS: 150 consecutive @entity6 @entity1 @entity3657 (176 limbs) with Fontaine degree I - IV were treated with @entity865 and followed up for 5 months (1 - 16 months). The result with the residual stenosis < 30% was regarded as success. RESULTS: Totally 187 @entity865 procedures were performed in 150 @entity1 (176 limbs) with a technical success rate of 91.4% (161/176)). No serious complication occurred. The clinical symptoms of all @entity1 improved after successful @entity865 . The median ankle-brachial index (ABI) marginally increased from the baseline value of 0.34 +/- 0.27 to 0.96 +/- 0.24 after intervention. The ABI levels 1 month and 6 months after @entity865 were 0.88 +/- 0.34 and 0.71 +/- 0.26 respectively. The cumulative restenosis rate was 13.7%, and the reintervention rate was 7.2%. CONCLUSION: With high success rate, low complication rate, and sure curative effect, @entity865 can be performed as the first choice in treatment of the lower limb @entity3657 in @entity6 @entity1 .
