We report our experience with a total of 79 peripheral angioplasties performed in 64 patients on an outpatient basis between July 1983 and April 1985. Review of the medical files and a telephone inquiry in 58 subjects (72 angioplasties) revealed no major complications, a low rate of minor complications (1.5%), and a high degree of patient satisfaction (99%).
