Percutaneous angioplasty for peripheral arterial occlusive disease. Correlates of clinical success

R. P. Cambria, G. Faust, R. Gusberg, M. D. Tilson, K. A. Zucker and I. M. Modlin

We reviewed 142 percutaneous transluminal angioplasties (PTAs) in the iliac (n = 94) and femoropopliteal (n = 48) positions of 107 patients. Emphasis was placed on the ultimate clinical outcome, which was determined from a pool of clinical, hemodynamic, and angiographic data. Limb-threatening ischemia was the indication for intervention in 53% of the cases. The median follow-up interval was 17 months. Overall success was achieved in 50% of cases in both iliac and femoral positions at one year after PTA. The following factors were found to correlate with a successful clinical outcome: PTA for claudication vs limb-threatening ischemia (P less than .001); focal as opposed to diffuse stenosis or occlusion (P less than .02); immediate return of distal pulses (P less than .001); the absence of diabetes (P less than .05); and the presence of a patent outflow tract (P less than .001). Treatment results with PTA will vary widely according to the nature of the patient population and the criteria for determining success.
