Abstract
Purpose: Aim of the study was to evaluate the technical aspects of col our coded duplex sonography guided interventions of peripheral vessels . Methods: During 15 months 39 stenoses of shunt veins in 24 patients were dilated guided by colour coded duplex sonography. Results: 38 ste noses were dilated without complications. The blood flow volume was in creased from 361.9 +/- 83.5 to 718.9 +/- 189.2 ml/min. In one case it was not possible to dilate the stenosis because of a vasospasm. Conclu sion: PTA guided by colour coded duplex sonography is an alternative t o DSA guided interventions of superficial vessels without x-ray exposu re or contrast agent application.
