Transluminal angioplasty was performed in 51 iliac arteries in 48 patients with an average follow-up of 33 months. In three cases, the guidewire could not pass the stenosis. On two occasions, stenosis recurred within six months and the procedure was repeated. Lasting results were achieved in 92% of the dilated arteries. One of the most important advantages of transluminal iliac dilatation over surgery is that the danger of severing sympathetic fibers is avoided and innervation of genital function remains intact.
