Retrograde Distal Superficial Femoral Artery Approach in the Supine Position for Chronic Superficial Femoral Artery Occlusion
Subintimal angioplasty is an effective method for the treatment of long superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions. One of the major limiting factors for the success of this procedure is the failure to re-enter the true lumen. The recently introduced luminal re-entry devices provide a high technical success rate, but failures can occur. In such cases, a retrograde popliteal approach can serve ...
متن کاملA Case Report of Ruptured Superficial Femoral Artery Aneurysm
Single superficial femoral artery (SFA) aneurysm is rare and occurs in approximately 5 per 100,000 patients. Rupture is a rare complication in this aneurysm. In this case report, we present the diagnostic and therapeutic work up of a ruptured SFA aneurysm of the right lower limb in a 75-year-old diabetic man with ischemic heart disease. Pre-surgical diagnosis was through physical examination fi...
متن کاملRecanalization of Superficial Femoral Artery Occlusion — The Subintimal Approach
The technique of subintimal angioplasty or percutaneous intentional extraluminal angioplasty for recanalization of femoropopliteal occlusions in critical limb ischaemia is described in detail. Various indications and contraindications are outlined. The technique is easy to learn and offers a high success rate, combined with a low rate of complications.
متن کاملProximal superficial femoral artery occlusion, collateral vessels, and walking performance in peripheral artery disease.
OBJECTIVES We studied associations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-measured superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions with functional performance, leg symptoms, and collateral vessel number in peripheral artery disease (PAD). We studied associations of collateral vessel number with functional performance in PAD. BACKGROUND Associations of MRI-detected SFA occlusion and collateral vessel...
متن کاملSuccessful endovascular treatment of chronic total occlusion of superficial femoral artery using retrograde approach from deep femoral artery.
An 82 years-old man with intermittent claudication was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography angiography showed his right superficial femoral artery (SFA) was chronic total occlusion (CTO), and we performed endovascular treatment (EVT). We advanced a guide-wire by contralateral transfemoral approach, but guide-wires could not penetrate the occluded SFA lesion antegradely. Thus, we tried...
