ABSTRACT

The peripheral chronic arterial disease has many therapeutic alternatives. I present five patients (cases 1 to 5) with chronic obstructive arterial disease of the lower limbs, that were treated with percutaneous balloon angioplasty followed by stent placement. The immediate therapeutic success was satisfactory, without any restenosis in 4 patients who were followed during 14 months. This evidence suggests that in well chosen cases, the endovascular techniques are a good option for the treatment of certain types of chronic peripheral obstructive arterial disease (TASC A y B ).
