Abstract
Methods Twenty-four of patients were treated with endovascular method. Nineteen of the patients had intermittent claudication, 4 had rest pain and one patient with bilateral popliteal artery aneurysms had pain at the back of bilateral knee joints. Twenty patients were male and 3 were female. The mean age was 64,05 (range 40-82 years) years. Nine of the patients who underwent endovascular therapy had a lesion in TASC-A group, 5 had a TASC-B lesion, and TASC-COPD lesions were present in 9 patients. Subintimal balloon angioplasty failed with TASC-C lesions of 2 patients who were excluded from the study. One of these patients underwent urgent infragenual femoropopliteal bypass using a saphenous graft and the other supragenual femoropopliteal bypass using a PTFE graft.
Highlights
Methods of endovascular therapy stent have been increasingly used in addition to conventional surgical approaches in the treatment of peripheral arterial diseases
In this paper we present the endovascular treatment methods that we use in patients with peripheral arterial disease
