  • Title: [Surgically relevant complications in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty].
    Author: Stierli P, Bissat A, Tillmann U.
    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1989 Jun; 56(1-2):29-33. PubMed ID: 2528522.
    Abstract:
    Seven significant surgical complications in 118 patients after PTA-treatment of the lower extremities are presented. In two cases the puncture site in the vessel had to be sutured, in three patients we had to perform a femoro-popliteal bypass, once a TEA with profundaplasty and in another case an embolectomy of the trifurcation. Our experience reveals that with the indication for PTA, the rate of significant complications and their surgical consequences has to be considered too. A close cooperation between Radiologist, Angiologist and Surgeon is of importance.
