PTA managed higher risk patients with lower morbidity where bypass surgery used to be deferred. The cost and economic implications of introducing PTA must be viewed according to the changing face of vascular surgery. We recommend trials using Quality Adjusted Life Year measurement to determine short and long term outcome.
