Fig. 1F 61-year-old man with arteriosclerotic obstructive disease and
pain in left lower leg. Intraarterial MR angiogram obtained after angioplasty
shows that overestimation of residual stenosis in superficial femoral artery
(arrow) is due to calcification. Source images revealed stenosis of
less than 50% (grade 1). This variability in degree of stenosis might be
potential pitfall of this method. Peripheral pulses were palpable after
angioplasty. Left anklebrachial index improved from 0.50 to 0.83 after
angioplasty.
