  • Title: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the carotid artery. Its application to post surgical stenosis.
    Author: Numaguchi Y, Puyau FA, Provenza LJ, Richardson DE.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 1984; 26(6):527-30. PubMed ID: 6239109.
    Abstract:
    The successful dilatation of postsurgical concentric stenosis of an internal carotid artery using percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is reported here. Only one such case has been previously documented. Review of the literature disclosed 16 patients who received transluminal angioplasty for stenosis of carotid arteries by percutaneous or open arteriotomy techniques. The authors feel that PTA may be the treatment of choice for postoperative concentric stenosis of a short segment of the carotid artery as opposed to surgical repair.
