The authors consider the tactical features of transcutaneous endovascular angioplasty in 110 patients with multiple arterial occlusive and stenotic lesions of the pelvis and lower extremities. A total of 299 arteries were operated on and desobliteration of stenoses and occlusions were performed. Five procedures of transcutaneous endovascular angioplasty: via transfemoral antegrade, transfemoral retrograde, transfemoral contralateral, transpopliteal, and transaxillary accesses were used alone or in combination. The tactics of transcutaneous endovascular angioplasty was determined by the nature, site, and extent of lesions, as well as the status of the distal arterial bed. Clinical positive results of transcutaneous endovascular angioplasty were obtained in 94 (85.4%) patients. Complications following endovascular interventions were encountered in 5 (4.6%) cases.
