	Popliteal angioplasty	Femoral angioplasty	P-value*
Lesion site
Proximal SFA	19(21.6%)	23 (8.4%)	0.001
Distal SFA	46 (52.3%)	133 (48.4%)	0.606
Multiple SFA	18 (20.5%)	73 (26.5%)	0.314

Graft	3 (3.4%)	26 (9.7%)	0.111
Tibio/peroneal	0 (0%)	11 (4.1%)	0.121

^*Pearson's chi-squared test.

Proximal SFA = proximal one-third of SFA.

Distal SFA = distal one-third of SFA.
