Abstract: Objective To explore the feasibility and outcome of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) as a primary treatment modality long femoro-popliteal arterial occlusions in critical limb ischemia.Methods Ten cases with 10 lesions in their femoro-popliteal arterial occlusions were treated with PTA, and the symptoms, intraoperative and postoperative DSA characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Short-term follow-up were obtained in 8 cases. Results The technical success rate related to procedure was 90% and 12 stents were placed after PTA in femoro-popliteal arterial occlusions. One case was suffered fromamputa-lion due to development of compartment syndrome. The primary patency rate and recurrence rate of 12 months after procedure were 70% and 30% respectively. Conclusion Patients with critical limb ischemia could be beneficial from PTA in long femoro-popliteal arterial occlusions.
