Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is one of the most exciting developments in the field of interventional radiology. In this procedure an angiographic catheter with an inflatable balloon is used to reopen the lumen of an artery that was previously obstructed due to plaque formation. This article describes the historical development of PTA, the technique involved in catheter angioplasty, and its application in certain disease states.
经皮腔内血管成形术（PTA）是介入放射学领域最令人兴奋的进展之一。在这个过程中，带有可充气球囊的血管造影导管被用于重新开通因斑块形成而先前阻塞的动脉管腔。本文描述了PTA的历史发展、导管血管成形术所涉及的技术及其在某些疾病状态下的应用。
