Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is a relatively new technique employed in the treatment of stenoses or occlusions of peripheral arteries. While the longterm success rates have yet to be determined, short-term results have been excellent. The procedure has greatest value in the dilatation of localized lesions, avoiding surgery and its attendant risks. However, PTA and surgery are complementary, not competing, modes of therapy. PTA complements the traditional therapy of peripheral vascular disease, which remains reconstructive surgery.
经皮腔内血管成形术是一种用于治疗外周动脉狭窄或闭塞的相对较新的技术。虽然长期成功率尚未确定，但短期结果非常出色。该手术在扩张局部病变方面具有最大的价值，可避免手术及其相关风险。然而，PTA 和手术是互补的，而不是竞争的治疗模式。PTA 补充了外周血管疾病的传统治疗方法，即仍然是重建手术。
