Abstract


Introduction: Aim is to study the factors favoring successful iliac artery angioplasty in patients with lower limb ischemia

Material and Methods: It is a prospective study done in 30 patients whom had underwent iliac artery angioplasty for lower limb ischemia.

Results: Major Outcomes were patency rate and limb salvage which were 80% (24/30)  and 90% (27/30) respectively. Other outcomes taken into consideration were ulcer healing, Ankle-Brachial index improvement and improvement in claudication pain/ distance.

Conclusion: Diabetic patients and older age individuals had high successful outcomes for iliac artery angioplasty in lower limb ischemia.
