title: [Recanalization of an iliac artery occlusion from the contralateral side using "low-speed rotational angioplasty"].
abstract: This paper demonstrates the applicability of "low-speed rotational angioplasty" in antegrade direction for recanalization of the common iliac artery. After recanalization, a 4-mm PTCA balloon was used to dilate in antegrade direction using a PTCA exchange wire. After 5 weeks the femoral artery could be punctured and a residual stenosis dilated in retrograde direction.
