Abstract
|
|
|
Revascularizations of 14 occlusive arterial diseases in the lower extremities with the Transluminal Endarterectomy Catheter was done successfully.
The causes of occlusions were atherosclerosis in 9 cases and cardiogenic thromboembolism in 5 cases.
The site of lesions were at the common femoral artery in 1 case, the superficial femoral artery in 6 cases and the popliteal artery in 7 cases.
The length of the lesion were below 5cm(n=3), 5-10cm(n=2), 11-20cm(n=6) and 21-30cm(n=3).
Complications were distal embolism(n=1) and hematoma at the puncture site(n=1).
No symptoms recurred in any cases during 2 months -15 months followup.
Endarterectomy with Transluminal Endarterectomy Catheter was found to be an effective method for revasculizations of occlusive arterial disease in the lower extremity, especially in long segmental occlusion.
