Antegrade vs Crossover Femoral Artery Access in the Endovascular Treatment of Isolated Below-the-Knee Lesions in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia

Abstract

The present multicenter study showed high technical success and a low incidence of access-related complications in the treatment of isolated BTK lesions using either antegrade or crossover femoral access. The antegrade approach with the use of a 4-F system seems to have a significantly lower rate of access-related complications.
