Recorded video case

Retrograde femoropopliteal recanalization through the dorsal pedal artery

This case demonstrates the recanalization of the femoropopliteal artery in a patient with CLTI. The reason for the solely retrograde approach was a Y-graft for AAA having the anastomoses at both common femoral arteries, the above-knee amputation of the contralateral limb and the extent of the disease. Primary stent implantation was performed by using the Pulsar-18 (Biotronik) bare-metal stent, which has a 4Fr profile and a proven efficacy according to the 4EVER trial.

VRTD 2: Association between PTX-coated devices and overall mortality

This is an exclusive interview with the first three authors (Dr. Katsanos, Dr. Spiliopoulos, Dr. Kitrou) of the paper entitled ‘Risk of Death Following Application of Paclitaxel-Coated Balloons and Stents in the Femoropopliteal Artery of the Leg: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials’ (J Am Heart Assoc. 2018 Dec 18;7(24):e011245). The authors answered relevant questions about the impact of their findings and the future of PTX-eluting devices.

Review of the literature

When to use a self-expandable covered stent in the SFA in PAD patients?

In this presentation, we demonstrate three interesting and debatable PAD cases, where a self-expandable covered stent was used to treat different types of SFA disease. The decision making about the use of a self-expandable stent is supported by a current overview of the literature.

Case report

Decision making by a complex case of iatrogenically created A-V fistula with concomitant AAA and fem-pop bypass occlusion

This is a complex case of a 74-year-old female with an acute onset of rest pain of the right limb. Previous Rx: primary stenting of both renal arteries, endovascular repair of both CIA in CERAB technique and fem-pop 1 bypass right limb.
During her current readmission, the CT-scan revealed a high-flow AV fistula of the right CFA, an abdominal aortic aneurysm (4.7 cm), an occluded stent in the right renal artery as well as an occluded fem-pop bypass. What would you do in this case?

Live case

Two different techniques for retrograde infrainguinal CTO recanalization

This live case demonstrates two different techniques of retrograde recanalization: through collaterals of the CTO and through a retrograde tibial puncture. Moreover, you will see tips and tricks about the snaring of the wire and the further steps of such a procedure. Finally, the intervention was performed with CO2 angiography due to the chronic kidney disease of this patient suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Review of the literature

Decision-making in intermediate femoropopliteal lesions

Professor Katsanos (Interventional Radiology, Patras, Greece) provides an evidence-based overview of different techniques and devices for the treatment of intermediate (<15cm) femoropopliteal lesions. Which should be your first treatment strategy? Which is the role of drug-eluting stents? Do we have enough evidence about atherectomy? What is vessel prep and how important is for the durability of the treatment strategy? Is there still space for the use of stent-grafts in the SFA?

Case report

Retrograde tibial anterior approach for challenging popliteal occlusion in CLI patient

This case report describes the endovascular treatment of a challenging popliteal occlusion in a CLTI patient. The lesion couldn’t be crossed via antegrade approach. The retrograde approach by puncture the mid section of the anterior tibial artery is safe and allowed us to recanalize the lesion easily.

Paving and cracking technique for severely calcified SFA lesions

This is a recorded case about the treatment of a severely calcified chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the SFA in a patient with critical limb ischemia. In this video, you will see all the important steps of such an intervention: 1. puncture 2. cross-over sheath advancement 3. crossing of the lesion 4. vessel preparation 5. paving and cracking and 6. final treatment.
