Abstract
In atheromatous occlusive disease, stenoses and occlusions of the infrarenal aorta are seldom found (in only 3%–4%) [4]. Usually the aortoiliac bifurcation is involved. A single stenosis in the aorta is rarely seen. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) [1] was not applied to the stenosis of the distal abdominal aorta until after the description of an inflatable dilatation catheter by Gruntzig [3]. Due to the low incidence of the disease, very little literature is available on this topic [2, 5, 6].
