[Transpedal approaches for complicated lesions of superficial femoral artery].

Abstract

The main treatment of the developed lower limb critical ischemia consists in carrying out an operative intervention including open and endovascular techniques. If it is impossible to perform open surgery, as well as in case of complications in antegrade recanalization of occluded superficial femoral artery, a transcpedal approach might become a way out from this complicated situation. In this article we present our experience with transpedal approaches in patients with lower-limb critical ischemia, describing the technique of a transpedal approach.
