Transpedal access after failed anterograde recanalization of complex below‐the‐knee and femoropoliteal occlusions in critical limb ischemia

Abstract

Failed antegrade attempts to recanalize CTO-s of femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal vessels can be salvaged using a retrograde transpedal access, with a low acute and late complication rate. This technique could be valuable for patients with critical limb ischemia due to femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal occlusions.
