title: [Transluminal angioplasty in combination with surgical procedures in arteriosclerotic occlusive disease of the lower extremity (author's transl)].
abstract: In 16 patients suffering from occlusions of the pelvic and/or femoral arteries a combined treatment was performed: percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and surgical reconstructive measures. Indications for this procedure are: 1. Stenoses of the pelvic arteries and occlusion of the ipsilateral superficial femoral artery with PTA for the iliac artery and endarterectomy for the femoral artery. 2. Occlusion of the iliac and the femoral arteries with a decreased run-off: PTA and lumbar sympathectomy. 3. Endarterectomy on one side and PTA contralaterally.
