Abstract

The cryoplasty technique is effective for the treatment of infrapopliteal lesions in CLI patients. The results seem to be within the range of those of conventional PTA. Especially for shorter lesion (<50.0 mm), the wide-spread use of cryoplasty is not recommended. For lesions with a minimal length of 50.0 mm, the results are encouraging.
