Resumen:

Percutaneous transluminal anioplasty (PTA) makes it possible to dilate a stricture or perform vascular disobstruction by means of catheterism. This technique, introduced by Dotter in 1964, has experienced a siniicant dissemination throughou t the world as a cosquence of the uilization of Grüntzig's catheter. Angioplasies have been performed in pracically ali vascular territories, but their indications and long-term resul s ave not as yet been totally deined. However the method has been accepted and the good results obtined have been confirmed, while surgery is either unable to effect revascularizations or, when it is, such procedures entail considerable risk to the patient. We hope that this first successful case of PTA treated in our country will only constitue the beinning of a long-term study for the purpose of evaluating the possibilíties offered by this therapeuic method.


La angioplastia transluminal percutánea (ATP), permite la dilatación de una estenosis o la desobstrucción vascular por medio del cateterismo. Técnica introducida por Dotter en 1964, en los últimos años ha experimentado gran diusión mundial araíz del uso del catéter de Grüntzig. Prácticamente en todos los territorios vasculares se han efectuado angioplastias, siendo sus indicaciones y resultados a largo plazo, todavía no toalmente definidos. Sin embargo el método ha sido aceptado y sus buenos resultados comprobados, cuando la cirugía no permite realizar procedimientos de revascularización o estos involucran un importante riesgo para el enfermo. Nuestro interés es que el primer caso exitoso de ATP realizado en nuestro país, sea el comienzo de un trabajo a largo plazo para valorar las posibilidades de dicho método terapeútico.
