Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease remains the most common cause of death in industrialized countries. Balloon-expandable intraluminal stents were placed in 5 patients in whom conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty failed and in whom there was reobstruction of lower limb arteries. At the latest follow-up examinations (average 18 months) all patients showed clinical benefit, and in all cases the stents have kept the arteries patent.
