[Percutaneous transluminal vasodilatation. Long-term results and report on experiences with a new system of catheters: transaxillary technic].
A report is given on the result of 567 transluminal vasodilatations, some of which have been followed up for more than five years. The results of conventional techniques were compared with a new catheter technique. The complication rate with the newly-adopted system is much lower than with conventional ones, while the reocclusion rate is only about 10%, which is about half of the figure obtained in the period up to July 1981 when the new technique was introduced.
