In this study we aimed to present the outcomes of patients with critical limb ischemia underwent percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty. Material and Method: We included 67 patients (mean age 62.4, 82% male). Procedural success was defined as <20% residual vessel stenosis. Clinical success was defined as the relieve of rest pain, prevention of amputation and achievement of wound healing. Results: Procedural success was achieved in 92.5%. Clinical success was achieved in 92.5%, 89.5% and 85.0% in 1.3 and 12 months fol- low-up, respectively. There were no procedure related death, acute thrombosis, distal embolization or need for urgent surgical inter- vention.
