What is Short-term Results of Femoropopliteal Subintimal Angioplasty about?

## Abstract ## Background Subintimal angioplasty may be more successful than conventional (intraluminal) angioplasty for treatment of long femoropopliteal occlusions. This study assessed the clinical and haemodynamic outcome of subintimal angioplasty. ## Methods All patients with femoropopliteal occlusions treated by subintimal angioplasty over a 3-year period at two centres were reviewed. Clinical assessment and colour duplex imaging were carried out. ## Results Sixty-nine procedures were performed in 33 men and 33 women of median age 74 (range 47–92) years. Indications for treatment were intermittent claudication in 26 (38 per cent) and critical limb ischaemia in 43 (62 per cent). Median occlusion length was 10 (range 2–50) cm. Primary technical success was achieved in 51 occlusions (74 per cent). There were 11 complications (16 per cent); the majority were minor but surgical intervention was required in two patients (3 per cent). At 6 months the cumulative symptomatic and haemodynamic primary patency rates were 60 and 51 per cent respectively, analysed on an intention-to-treat basis. The symptomatic and haemodynamic patency rates for technically successful procedures were 80 and
