title: [Percutaneous endoluminal angioplasty using balloon catheter in peripheral arteriopathies of the lower limbs].
abstract: Dilatation using an inflatable catheter is the best and most commonly used percutaneous endoluminal treatments for arteriopathy of the legs. We now have enough follow-up to say that it has acquired a position beside surgery without opposing this as the two methods are often complementary. The indications have been extended and the results, for certain types of lesion, are similar to those achieved with surgery, with the advantages specific to this method. Complications remain limited and can often be dealt with during this procedure by means of other percutaneous methods (installation of endoprostheses, fibrinolysis, thromboaspiration).
