Authors' results and conclusions:
Balloon angioplasty has an immediate success rate of 96.5% in iliac arteries, but the long-term patency rate falls to 54% at 5 years for stenoses. New techniques are designed to improve the immediate and long-term results of balloon angioplasty: Laser angioplasty, atherectomy, Omnicath, TEC, Bard Motarj41eme, PAC catheters, Rotablator, stents, thrombolysis, thrombosuction, ultrasound.
Authors' recommendations:
Balloon angioplasty is the reference percutaneous technique, but comparative data concerning surgery and angioplasty are inadequate. Technical quality assurance of new technologies must be provided either by approval procedures or by quality assurance procedures. Laser is not indicated at the present time due to its complications and limited efficacy. No atherectomy techniques have yet been validated and must be confined to research protocols. Stents are a complement to angioplasty, but no particular stent has been shown to be superior to another. Thrombosuction and ultrasound techniques are recent and further evaluation is required.
