The use of an angiographic balloon catheter to achieve proximal control of the left subclavian artery as an adjunct to surgery is described. By this application of interventional radiology combined with surgery, successful treatment of a pseudo-aneurysm of the subclavian artery in a gravely ill patient was made possible without resort to thoracotomy.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with the Gruntzig balloon catheter was undertaken in 12 patients with chronic lower limb ischemia. As judged by postdilatation angiography, the procedure was successful in 11 patients (91.6%). Nine patients were either free of symptoms or very significantly improved at follow-up, one to five months after angioplasty. Indications for angioplasty and the technique are described and discussed.
