Summary
Twenty-nine patients with femoropopliteal occlusions were referred for low-speed rotational angioplasty. In two patients the catheter could not be inserted into the superficial femoral artery. In the remaining 27 patients the procedure was successful in 23 cases (85%). In four patients recanalization was not possible, since perforation or subintimai tracking occurred. A large dissection was treated by stent implantation, a thrombosis of a treated vessel was cured by intraarterial thrombolysis. In conclusion, we think that low-speed rotational angioplasty may be the method of choice in treatment of femoropopliteal occlusions.
