Complications after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty

The American Journal of Surgery, 1981
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is being widely advocated as an alternative to direct arterial reconstructive surgery. Distressing complications of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty have been noted, including anterograde dissection of the femoral and iliac arteries with acute thrombosis and widespread embolization of the mesenteric and ...

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1984
Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty appears to be an effective alternative to coronary artery bypass surgery in patients whose coronary artery anatomy is suitable--that is, an individual with single (or, at most, double) vessel coronary artery disease whose stenoses are proximal, discrete, subtotal, concentric and noncalcified.

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1998
Fibrinolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction, even with the most efficient regimens available, is fraught with a substantial proportion of failures to reopen the occluded vessel. The term rescue percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) has been introduced to describe an attempt to mechanically recanalize the infarct vessel if ...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty: A review

Clinical Radiology, 1983

Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty

1989
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the elimination of arterial stenoses and occlusions by means of a dilating catheter placed percutaneously into the lumen of a vessel. Today, the dilating catheter of Gruntzig and Hopff [5] is preferred to the coaxial catheter systems formerly used because of several disadvantages with the latter (remnant ...
