Successful recanalization of long femoro-crural occlusive disease after failed bypass surgery

Figure 2 Digital subtraction angiography in the first interventional session. A-D: Long occlusion of the left SFA and of the popliteal artery with scarce filling of the posterior tibial artery (blue arrow in D); E: After failed antegrade crossing direct stent puncture at the level of the mid SFA was performed, achieving retrograde intraluminal passage; F: After snaring the guidewire, a 0.035’’ TrailBlazer support catheter was antegrade advanced to the level of the popliteal artery (blue arrow); G: A 0.014’’ advantage guidewire was used to wire the anterior tibial artery; H-I: Balloon angioplasty; J-L: Final angiographic result. SFA: Superficial femoral artery.
