Abstract
Several disadvantages of Dotter’s coaxial (1) catheter for femoropopliteal obstructions and Porstmann’s (3) caged balloon catheter for iliac obstructions led us to modify the technique with a new double-lumen catheter*. Having done 48 procedures with the original technique from 1971–1973, we have used the new method since 1974 and have treated 242 patients (February 1978). Similar dilatation techniques and catheters can be used for both iliac and femoropopliteal obstructions. The relative simplicity of the procedure as well as the encouraging long-term results favor the new method (2).
