title: Diffuse unilateral pediatric arteriopathy: successful treatment with repeated angioplasty.
abstract: We report a three-year-old girl exhibiting severe long-segment stenoses and     occlusions with diffuse arterial involvement of the upper and lower extremities     on the right side. The obstructive lesions, which caused atrophy of the right     limb and chronic ulceration of the foot, were treated successfully with repeated     percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Obstructive peripheral arterial disease     can cause growth retardation of the involved extremity, which can be salvaged by     repeated endovascular therapy even in a small growing child.
