title: [Alternative vascular approaches in transluminal angioplasty of infra-inguinal arteries].
abstract: 61 procedures using an alternative vascular access for PTA are reported. Puntures of mid and distal femoral arteries and popliteal arteries in antegrade as well as retrograde direction have been proven effective and sufficiently safe, when unfavourable anatomic situations did not allow the performance of a standard procedure. 14 cases necessitated puncture of and access via crural arteries.
