title: [Percutaneous transluminal recanalization of chronic stenoses and occlusions of peripheral arteries].
abstract: It is reported on indications and results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty using the Grüntzig- and Olbert-type balloon catheter technique. It is also referred to the expansion of PTA to the treatment of multiple obliterations in different layers with vascular surgical procedures. Today the essential indications for PTA are iliac stenoses on one or both sides, stenoses of the femoral and popliteal artery as well as short occlusions of the superficial femoral and popliteal artery of less than 10 cm.
