Resultados a médio prazo do tratamento endovascular das lesões de artérias ilíacas: análise de série de 59 casos

摘要: BACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease has become increasingly frequent in the past few years. Because it is a less invasive procedure, lower morbidity and mortality rates are associated with this form treatment. OBJECTIVES: To describe endovascular procedures performed iliac arteries for disease. METHODS: This retrospective study assesses 59 cases artery angioplasty according to specific protocol from January 2004 February 2010. RESULTS: Mean age patients was 62 years (minimum: 42, maximum: 89). Thirty seven were male (62.72%) 22 female (37.28%). The main indications moderate severe intermittent claudication 30 (50.84%) rest pain or trophic lesions (critical ischemia) 29 (49.15%). Postoperative follow-up included ankle-brachial index measurements duplex ultrasound at days, 3 months, 6 12 every months thereafter. Minimum time maximum, 72 (6 years), primary secondary patency 91.37 94.82%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: results case series, combined literature review results, allow conclude that approach an effective safe option treat arteries.
