title: [Percutaneous angioscopy of the iliac and femoral arteries].
abstract: Very few papers about peripheral angioscopy are reported in literature. Percutaneous angioscopy (P.T.A.) of 25 peripheral arteries (21 iliac and 4 femoral arteries) have been performed by the authors without surgery and without anesthesia. Three observations are selected. The first one demonstrates an eccentric stenosis altering its diameter during pulsations; an irregular ulcerated atheroma is observed. The second case shows the signs of a centric atheroma with an intimal fragment. The last one is an intimal dissection due to PTA. The prospective aspects of this new technique are discussed.
