Abstract
The usefulness of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the treatment of vascular lesions is now beyond doubt, especially in atheromatous lesions. However, the technique has its limits, dominated by immediate failure, and particularly restenosis at mid-term, estimated to be 30% at the femoropopliteal level, and 10% at the renal and iliac levels. New methods have arrived to complete and to improve the results of PTA and to widen its indications: atherectomy [16], mechanical recanalization [6], and laser angioplasty [1]. Of these methods, use of the percutaneous endoprosthesis seems very appealing. The concept of the endoprosthesis, which maintains a vascular stenosis which has been opened after dilatation, was developed by Dotter [3].
