Endovascular recanalization techniques for popliteal arterial occlusive injury with limb-threatening ischemia secondary to trauma
نویسندگان
چکیده
To date, no ideal endovascular strategy has been established for traumatic arterial occlusion. Here, we report the outcomes of a combination of endovascular recanalization techniques applied in two patients with high risk of leg amputation. A 33-year-old man with popliteal artery occlusion due to blunt trauma was treated by balloon angioplasty with long inflation time and aspiration thrombectomy. A 74-year-old woman with popliteal artery occlusion after total knee replacement was treated by aspiration thrombectomy and stent placement. In both cases, we achieved satisfactory recanalization, and peripheral ischemia was absent even 1 year later.

Korean Guidelines for Interventional Recanalization of Lower Extremity Arteries
Peripheral arterial occlusive disease caused by atherosclerosis can present with intermittent claudication or critical limb ischemia. Proper diagnosis and management is warranted to improve symptoms and salvage limbs. With the introduction of new techniques and dedicated materials, endovascular recanalization is widely performed for the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease because...
متن کاملRetrograde Pedal Approach for Below-the-Ankle Revascularization in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia
Diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) usually have significant multilevel arterial disease, very often with compromised outflow in pedal arteries. The combination of severe arterial occlusion with the increased blood flow requirement, necessary to achieve the healing of skin lesions or surgical incisions, makes this population particularly challenging to treat. Additionally, diabe...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of combined ipsilateral percutaneous iliac angioplasty and open infrainguinal surgical techniques for the treatment of patients with multilevel arterial occlusive disease. Combining two types of approaches in the peripheral vascular field is a less aggressive technique and may result in excellent early patency and limb salvage rates. We rep...
