The entire right

SFA and above
knee popliteal
artery was
angioplastied.

Contrast was
instilled into the

angioplasty
balloon, so that
the operator could

visualise the
contour of the
artery during

balloon dilatation.
In cases of severe
calcification, the
lesion tended to

be resilient to
angioplasty or may

recoil. Selective
stenting may be
necessary.
