Nitinol Overdose - Rescue of Acute Limb Ischemia Caused by Stenting of the Common Iliac, External Iliac, Common Femoral, Superficial Femoral, and Popliteal Arteries in an Actively-Smoking Claudicant

Intermittent claudication (IC) from peripheral artery disease is typically managed with pharmacological interventions and lifestyle changes. However, despite societal guidelines, initial endovascular are being used more frequently increased complications, resulting in rapid progression to acute critical limb-threatening ischemia (ALI). This case concerns a patient who developed ALI following treatment of IC at another facility, malpositioned bilateral common iliac stents continuous stent extension into the popliteal occlusion entirety right lower extremity vasculature. illustrates how extensive intervention for can result requiring urgent revascularization.
