Gianturco expandable metallic stents were used in 4 cases with ASO of the iliac artery after PTA for the purpose of the prevention of restenosis. The insertion of stent was succeeded in all 4 cases, and the improvement of clinical symptoms and elevation of ankle pressure index were observed. Follow-up over 3 to 8 months revealed no occlusion and migration of stent. Expandable metallic stent was suggested to be contributable to the treatment of arterial occlusive disease.
4例髂动脉闭塞症患者在经皮腔内血管成形术（PTA）后使用了Gianturco可扩张金属支架以预防再狭窄。4例患者均成功植入支架，临床症状得到改善，踝压指数升高。随访3至8个月，未发现支架闭塞和移位。提示可扩张金属支架有助于治疗动脉闭塞性疾病。
