Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty of the Abdominal Aorta

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 1994
To determine the long-term results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of focal infrarenal abdominal aortic stenoses.Over a 10-year period, 15 focal infrarenal abdominal aortic stenoses were treated with PTA in 14 patients (13 women and one man; mean age, 53.2 years; range, 43-78 years).The initial technical success rate was 100%.
