Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting has recently been proposed as an alternative to surgical reexploration in patients with recurrent carotid artery stenosis following endarterectomy. The authors retrospectively reviewed their experience after performing 25 procedures in 21 patients to assess the safety and efficacy of PTA with or without stenting for carotid artery restenosis. The mean interval between endarterectomy and the endovascular procedure was 57 months (range 8-220 months). Seven arteries in five patients were treated by PTA alone (including bilateral procedures in one patient and repeated angioplasty in the same vessel in another). Early suboptimum results and recurrent stenosis in some of these initial cases prompted the authors to combine PTA with stenting in the treatment of 18 arteries over the past 3 years. No major periprocedural deficits (neurological or cardiac complications) or death occurred. There was one periprocedural transient neurological event. A pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery (at the access site) required surgical repair. In the 16 patients who each underwent at least 6 months of follow-up review, no neurological events ipsilateral to the treated artery had occurred after a mean follow-up period of 27 months (range 6-57 months). Three of five patients who underwent PTA alone developed significant (> 50%) asymptomatic restenoses that required repeated angioplasty in one and PTA with stenting in two patients. Significant restenosis (55%) was observed in only one of the vessels treated by combined angioplasty with stenting. Endovascular PTA and stenting of recurrent carotid artery stenosis is both technically feasible and safe and has a satisfactory midterm patency. This procedure can be considered a viable alternative to surgical reexploration in patients with recurrent carotid artery stenosis.

Background: Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) or mesenteric angina is a condition characterised by inadequate blood supply to bowel as a result of stenosis affecting   one or more of the three mesenteric arteries: the celiac artery (CA), the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA).Methods: Ten patients with significant lesion, treated with PTA and stenting were selected for study and were followed at 2 weeks, at 2 months then at 6 months after index procedure to see composite of symptomatic improvement, weight gain and revascularization.Results: On mesenteric angiography, significant ostial stenosis of celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery in 5 patients, 3 patients had significant ostial stenosis of celiac trunk and ostial stenosis of inferior mesenteric artery and 2 patients had significant stenosis of superior mesenteric artery. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting was done, final result was good and there was no residual stenosis and dissection. After stenting patients were stable and pain free. There were no post-operative complications. Follow up was done after 2 weeks and 2 months and then at six months. There was no postprandial abdominal pain on follow up and almost all patient had gained weight in 2 months and on 6 months of follow up, no case of repeat revascularization was recorded.Conclusions: Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting to mesenteric artery is good alternative management of CMI. In present series, all cases were susses fully revascularized without residual stenosis and dissection.
