OBJECTIVE To assess iliac artery stenosis before and up to 1 year after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with duplex ultrasound (DUS) to determine the incidence of residual and recurrent stenoses and correlate these findings to clinical outcome. METHODS Sixty-one patients with 70 iliac artery segments treated with PTA were examined. The peak systolic velocity (PSV) ratio (PSV ratio = PSV in stenosis divided by PSV proximal or distal to stenosis) was determined by DUS before PTA and 1 day, 3 months and 1 year after PTA. Three categories of results were identified by using PSV ratios at the site of the treated stenosis 1 day and 1 year after PTA (good result, residual stenosis, and recurrent stenosis). The DUS-determined anatomic result was correlated with the clinical outcome at 1 year. Clinical outcome was classified according to Society for Vascular Surgery/International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery (SVS/ISCVS) criteria. RESULTS Good results with DUS (PSV ratio 1 day and 1 year after PTA > or = to 2.5) were found in 45 of 70 segments (64.3%), residual stenoses (PSV ratio > or .5 1 day after PTA) in 15 of 70 segments (21.4%), and recurrent stenosis (PSV ratio 1 day after PTA < 2.5 and 1 year after PTA > or = 2.5) in 10 of 70 segments (14.3%). PSV ratios of residual stenoses decreased significantly between 1 day and 1 year after PTA because some residual stenoses improved hemodynamically in time. Clinical results were significantly better in patients with a good result compared with other patients. However, the clinical outcome of patients with residual stenoses was not significantly different from the patients with good DUS results. CONCLUSIONS Some residual stenoses improved sonographically after PTA. Clinical results at 1 year are highly variable within different groups. Clinical outcome of patients with residual stenoses did not differ from patients with good DUS results, whereas clinical outcome in patients with recurrent stenoses was worse than in the other groups.
