Abstract
PERCUTANEOUS transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was first performed by Dotter and Judkins1 for femoral artery stenosis using a coaxial catheter system, and PTA is now an established therapy for renal, coronary, and iliac artery stenosis. In 1980 Sundt et al2 first reported successful intracranial angioplasty of the basilar artery in 2 patients.Keywords
