Description: Endovascular reconstruction of an artery, which may include the removal of atheromatous plaque and/or the endothelial lining as well as simple dilatation. These are procedures performed by catheterization. When reconstruction of an artery is performed surgically, it is called ENDARTERECTOMY.

2.	Pathologic Constriction (Stenosis) 07/01/1995 - "RESULTS: The average preangioplasty stenosis (North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial criteria) was 72 +/- 8% (mean +/- SD), with a significant improvement seen after angioplasty; the best angiographic stenosis (after healing of intimal injury, if any) was 43 +/- 24% (P < .001)" 05/01/1993 - "These results indicate that percutaneous angioplasty is a simple method of treating recoarctation of the aorta, which is most effective in severe stenoses: the immediate risk is low" 06/01/2001 - "Compared with the excellent good results on the arterial side, venous angioplasty combined with stent-application was described relatively late in the literature, dealing in the majority of cases with palliative tumour stenoses of the superior and inferior vena cava" 06/01/1992 - "On account of the good results it yields, of its relative simplicity and of the very low incidence of complications, angioplasty should be considered as the treatment of choice for stenoses and their relapses in vascular hemodialysis accesses" 03/01/1999 - "MATERIAL AND METHODS: We study 87 patients with severe stenosis (> or = 70%) of the proximal segment of left anterior descending artery treated successfully with angioplasty" Order ALL the reference details at left...
