Forty patients have undergone percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of the iliac or femoral-popliteal system with the Grüntzig balloon catheter. Technical problems ahve included experience with difficult antegrade puncture, production of intimal flaps, and loss of collateral vessels, as well as the need to develop an approach for recanalization of obstructions and for use of the balloon. Since problems in these areas may jeopardize the success of the procedure, they have been elucidated with some discussion of prevention. Preliminary results on the success of the procedure are included.
40例患者使用Grüntzig球囊导管对髂动脉或股腘动脉系统进行了经皮腔内血管成形术（PTA）。技术问题包括难以进行顺行穿刺、产生内膜瓣、侧支血管丢失，以及需要开发一种用于疏通阻塞和使用球囊的方法。由于这些领域的问题可能会危及手术的成功，因此在讨论预防措施时对其进行了阐述。文中还包括了该手术成功的初步结果。
