title: [Indications for endovascular dilatation in arterial occlusive diseases of the limbs].
abstract: Nearest and long-term results of rentgen-endovascular dilatation in obliterating lesions of extremity arteries were studied in 74 patients. The authors believe rentgen-endovascular dilatation to be performed according to the following indications: 1. Stenoses and segment occlusions not longer than 5 cm with intact patency of the arteries in portions distal and proximal to the obliteration; 2. Stenoses of iliac arteries with altered femoral and popliteal arteries requiring operative measures and stenoses of the femoro-popliteal segments against the background of an obliterating lesion of the iliac arteries amendable to operative measures only; 3. Combination of stenosis or occlusion with unsatisfactory blood flow in the distal bed not corrected operatively; 4. Stenoses and occlusions not longer than 12-15 cm with elevated risk of operation; 5. Stenoses revealed after a successful course of thrombolytic therapy.
