Infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty for the treatment of chronic occlusive disease.
29 Sep 2009 
OBJECTIVE: There is little documentation of the effectiveness of percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) of infrapopliteal vessels for the treatment of chronic lower extremity ischemia. This study reviewed our recent experience with infrapopliteal ... Read more...
