The Consequences of Angiography and Angioplasty of the Lower Limb in One Stage by Simultaneous IPSIL

Introduction: Chronic limb ischemia is the progressive form of peripheral artery disease. In this study, the consequences of angiography and angioplasty of the lower limb in one stage by simultaneous ipsilateral double puncture (retrograde plus ante grade) technique.

Method(s): In this clinical trial study, 170 cases of chronic lower extremity ischemia between August 2015 and February 2018 were studied. The patients were divided into two groups randomly including 85 subjects in each one, one group of angiography and angioplasty simultaneously, and one group which we performed these methods with a delay of 2 weeks. Patients hospitalized 24 hours and followed up once a week and once a month. Data were analyzed by SPSS 22.

Result(s): A total of 63.5% of the patients were men. Four (4.7%) cases with simultaneous insertion of two sheets at the lesion side showed the complications of angioplasty. There was no statistically significant relationship between the patients’ gender, age groups, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and kidney diseases.

Conclusion(s): Angiography and angioplasty simultaneously with double puncture technique ipsilateral to lesion have advantages including a significant reduction in costs compared with the crossover method.
