Abstract: | Purpose To evaluate the technical and clinical success, safety and long term results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty/self-expandable
nitinol stent placement of infrarenal abdominal aorta focal lesions.
Materials and Methods Eighteen patients underwent PTA of focal atherosclerotic occlusive disease of distal abdominal aorta. Two symptomatic occlusions
and 16 stenoses in 10 male and 8 female patients (mean age 68.2 years) were treated with primary self-expandable nitinol stent
placement.
Results Primary self-expandable nitinol stent placement was technically successful in all 18 procedures; clinical success was achieved
in 100% of patients. No complications associated with the procedure occurred. During the 49.4 months of mean follow up (range
3–96, 4 months) all treated aortic segments remained patent.
Conclusions Endovascular treatment (primary self-expandable nitinol stent placement) of focal atherosclerotic lesions of distal abdominal
aorta is a safe method with excellent primary technical and clinical success rates and favourable Long term results. |
