LEV 10. Single-Session Femoral-Popliteal Venoplasty for Infrainguinal Obstruction

Obstruction of the femoral-popliteal (FP) axis can be the underlying disease alone or occur in combination with iliac veins. Currently, there are limited options for such patients. This pilot study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a single-session FP venoplasty (SSFPV) with local infusion of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) using a novel percutaneous transluminal angioplasty balloon.
