Results of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of 60 iliac arteries are presented, with a follow-up of 3 to 12 months. The patency rate at 1 year was 95% using the thigh-brachial index as the criterion and 86% with the ankle-brachial index. Study of the patients with an exercise test component improved the sensitivity of the evaluation, demonstrating that both indices tend to underestimate the functional improvement. The authors propose a simple, cost-effective way for practitioners to follow-up their patients after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
本文呈现了60条髂动脉经皮腔内血管成形术的结果，并进行了3至12个月的随访。以股肱指数为标准时，1年通畅率为95%；以踝肱指数为标准时，1年通畅率为86%。对包含运动试验部分的患者进行研究提高了评估的敏感性，表明这两个指数往往会低估功能改善情况。作者提出了一种简单且经济高效的方法，供从业者在经皮腔内血管成形术后对患者进行随访。
