[Percutaneous transluminal recanalization in a patient with arterial occlusive disease and multiple injuries (author's transl)].
1978
: A case of a 66 year old patient with multiple injuries is reported. A combination of conventional trauma treatment and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTR) of a segmented superficial femoral artery occlusion prevented leg amputation. When the patient died 8 weeks later from trauma sequelae the successful recanalization was demonstrated in histopathology investigation. It is concluded that PTR is an ideal accessory to the present therapeutic spectrum in vascular surgery.
