Previously published papers on percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) have emphasized results rather than techniques. This review deals with equipment choices, technical aspects and pitfalls observed during the first 200 PTAs at the Brigham and Women's Hospital. Specific topics discussed include: (1) catheters kept in stock in the laboratory, (2) choice of approach and entry into the artery, (3) techniques for crossing stenoses, (4) dilatation of the lesion, (5) drugs used during the procedure, and (6) proper performance and interpretation of the postangioplasty arteriogram.
先前发表的关于经皮腔内血管成形术（PTA）的论文都侧重于结果而非技术。本综述探讨了在布莱根妇女医院开展的前200例PTA手术中所观察到的设备选择、技术细节及陷阱。所讨论的具体主题包括：（1）实验室常备的导管；（2）入路选择及动脉穿刺；（3）通过狭窄病变的技术；（4）病变扩张；（5）手术过程中使用的药物；以及（6）血管成形术后动脉造影的正确操作及解读。
