[Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the abdominal aorta using the "kissing balloon" technic].
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the distal abdominal aorta is still rarely performed procedure. Sporadic reports come from selected institutions with extensive experience in the field of PTA. Procedure is performed using so called "kissing-balloon" technique, and may be an alternative to the surgical treatment in well selected cases. We present a 45 years old woman with intermittent claudications and infrarenal abdominal aortic stenosis, treated successfully using above mentioned technique.
