Middle: Angiogram obtained after successful PTA, shows slight vessel-wall irregularities. The proximal and distal edges (arrows) of endovascular radiation are marked. Right: Angiogram obtained after 6 months demonstrates a normal vessel within the region of PTA and at the edges of the irradiated segment.
