title: [Long-term results of angioplasty with eximer laser].
abstract: The late-term results (follow-up periods of up to 18 months) of the patency of the main vessels of the lower limbs and brain were studied in 10 patients with occlusive lesions after angioplasty with excimeric laser of 308 nm wave length. Although the patency of the reconstructed vessels was maintained in 60% of cases, a good clinical effect was encountered in the late-term periods in 80% of patients. That is, the initial degree of ischemia did not recur in some of the patients after laser recanalization and subsequent balloon dilatation. The frequency of the development of restenosis or reocclusion depended on the extension of the earlier obliterated segment and the presence of a concomitant stenosing lesion.
