Five-year retrograde transpopliteal angioplasty results compared with antegrade angioplasty

摘要

INTRODUCTIONRetrograde transpopliteal angioplasty (PA) is a potentially useful alternative technique for endovascular treatment of infra-inguinal arterial disease when antegrade transfemoral puncture (FA) is technically not possible or appropriate. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of PA compared with FA during a 5-year period.
