[Complications after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and vascular surgery].
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an accepted technique in the treatment of occlusive vascular disease. We report complications associated with balloon catheter dilatation and their treatment in the period from 1. 1. 1986 to 31. 3. 1990. Complications were found at the site of dilatation and the site of insertion of the catheter, mostly in the pelvic and femoral region. Surgical correction was successful in all patients, however three patients died postoperatively of acute myocardial ischemia. To avoid these complications close co-operation between the radiologist performing the dilatation and the vascular surgeon managing the complications should be assured.
