Transluminal angioplasty of the hypogastric artery for treatment of buttock claudication

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 1986;9(3):136-8. doi: 10.1007/BF02577922.

Abstract

Two patients with incapacitating isolated buttock claudication and bilateral hypogastric artery occlusive disease were treated by balloon dilatation of a single hypogastric artery. Symptoms were eliminated in 1 patient and reduced in the other. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty represents an effective therapeutic approach in this relatively uncommon situation.
