Abstract:
Objective To evaluate clinical effects of endovascular angioplasty and stenting for treating lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusion(ASO).Methods After the identification of the stenosis or occlusion by angiography via femoral artery access by percutaneous puncture or incision puncture,recanalization of the occlusion was done by ultrasound ablation or guildewire clearance.Then the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) was performed and an endovascular stent was introduced.Results A total of 45 cases(53 legs) had undergone endovascular angioplasty and stenting.The procedure was technically successful in all the patients.The ankle brachial index(ABI) increased from 0.36?0.14 preoperatively to 0.77?0.21 on the 7 postoperative day((t=2.397),P=0.021).Follow-up checkups in all the cases for 6~54 months(mean,23 months) revealed a primary patency rate of 90.6%(48/53).Conclusions Endovascular angioplasty and stenting is a safe and effective method for treating lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusion.
