[Simplified percutaneous transluminal angioplasty by a new kind of guide wire--initial experiences].
A new guide wire for angioplasty of peripheral vessels was developed and tested in 20 patients. 24 occlusions mainly of the crural arteries were reopened, and 21 high-grade stenoses were treated. The use of the guide wire down to the foot is easy, cannulation times are short, and success rates of cannulation higher than with previous techniques.
