Treatment of long superficial femoral artery occlusions with excimer laser angioplasty: long‐term results after 48 months

Abstract

Laser angioplasty of long occlusions of the SFA is a feasible procedure with a low failure rate. Long-term results are promising, but additional interventions are required in most patients if a patency rate of 43.2% is to be achieved after 4 years.
