title: [Intraluminal angioplasty in the treatment of femoro-popliteal atheromatous lesions. Apropos of 57 cases].
abstract: Close cooperation between radiologist and surgeon is essential to prevent major complications of intra-luminal angioplasty, an only mildly aggressive revascularization procedure. Though evolution of an arteritis of the lower limbs can be halted by relief of the stenosis in some cases, the problem remains as to whether this technique is justified at the stage of claudication, even severe. The wider indications for dilatation at the iliac in relation to the femoropopliteal levels in this most recent series reported, testify this tendency.
