Zusammenfassung:	PERFUSION OF PERFLUOROCARBON COMPOUND EMULSION DURING PERCUTANEOUS TRANSLUMINAL ANGIOPLASTY A percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedure is disclosed which comprises positioning a balloon-tipped catheter within a stenotic region of an artery, inflating the balloon one or more times to enlarge the inner diameter of the artery and passing an oxygenated perfluorocarbon compound emulsion through the lumen of the catheter and into the artery during balloon inflation. The oxygenated perfluorocarbon compound is passed into the artery at a rate of from about 20 cc/min. to about 150 cc/min. to prevent physiologically damaging ischemia. Balloon inflation times range from 10 seconds to 30 minutes.
