Abstract:
30%. For inferior genicular artery lesions,only balloon angioplasty were carried out. All patients were followed up for 6 months and 12 months to assess of restenosis and clinical efficacy. Results All the patients' therapy was successful,their clinical symptoms were improved or disappeared. The 6-month follow-up showed that restenosis rates were 5.5%,16.7% and 25% respectively in the iliac artery,femoral popliteal artery,and inferior genicular artery. The rates in 12-month follow-up were 11.1%,33.3%,and 75% correspondingly. Conclusion Angioplasty and stent implantation are safe and effective in treatment of lower limb atherosclerosis obliterans. Standardized postoperative anti-platelet,anticoagulant,and anti-lipid therapy is essential to maintain blood vessel recanalization.
