[Long-term results after transluminal recanalization of arterial obliterations (author's transl)].
The study provides information on 22 patients in whom a total of 24 transluminal recanalization procedures were carried out because of obliterations of the A. femoralis superficialis. In addition to 6 primary failures, there were 7 occlusions within 12 hours to 6 months after treatment. Eleven patients were examined 18 to 36 months after surgery. Of these only one patient had a new occlusion. The results are compared with those of other study groups. Morphologic vascular changes are considered to be the cause of the relatively high number of primary failures. The significance of prophylaxis with anticoagulants is pointed out.
