Popis:	Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty cannot be used for lesions of the superficial femoral artery when the origin of the vessel is occluded. A new technique, retrograde femoral angioplasty, is described in which angioplasty is performed from below via the exposed popliteal artery. In four out of six patients retrograde femoral angioplasty was successfully completed, and three of the four vessels remain patent up to 1 year later. The method provides an alternative to the femoropopliteal bypass graft in some patients.
