Influence of concomitant percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with percutaneous coronary intervention on cardiovascular and limb outcomes in patients with chronic stable lower extremity artery diseases
Abstract:Concomitant percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often performed because lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) often coincides with coronary artery disease. We investigated the impact of concomitant PTA on both cardiovascular and limb outcomes in the Korean National Health Insurance Service registry.
