The aim of presentation: Retrospective assessment of primary and secondary iliac percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) success rate and its coincidence with coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients and method: 442 iliac PTAs for stenosis or occlusion were performed in 343 patients out of 3 267 non-coronary interventions since 1999. 309 patients were evaluated retrospectively and 398 iliac PTAs were done. To assess the correlation between peripheral artery diesease (PAD) and CAD, we evaluated the patients treated in the year 2003, when we performed 872 DSA of lower extremities and 448 coronary angiographies.
Results: Primary success rate of PTA was 98.6 %. 368 stents (83.3 %) were implanted. Primary patency of our interventions is 82.2 % and secondary patency is 91.2 %. 67 patients (14.9 %) underwent joint examination – DSA of lower extremities and coronary angiography in one year and 9 patients (2.01 %) underwent PTA of iliac arteries.
Conclusion: Our results confirm high primary and secondary patency of iliac interventions which when the stent is placed are comparable to surgical treatment. The number of patients who underwent the joint examination – DSA of lower extremities and coronary angiography – shows the importance of this approach.
