[Stents in iliac vascular changes].
The results of 79 iliac stent placements in 64 patients are reported. The technical success rate was 96%. The systolic pressure gradient dropped from 44 mmHg before to 2.8 mmHg after stent placement. This differed significantly as compared to a group treated by conventional PTA (gradient 5.8 mmHg). The cumulative patency after 18-20 months was 90%. Angiographic controls up to 19 months after "stenting" demonstrated only one secondary stent occlusion. Iliac stents therefore are a very valuable supplement to classic PTA.
