Percutaneous iliofemoral angioplasty via the contralateral femoral artery

DM Bachman, WJ Casarella and TA Sos

Using a flexible balloon catheter, transluminal angioplasty of the lower extremities may be performed via a puncture of the contralateral extremity. Five cases which illustrate the usefulness of this technique are presented. It provides access to lesions not amenable to ipsilateral puncture, avoids the need to compress the dilated artery, and decreases the risk of significant hematoma formation.
