This 18 minutes didactic procedure concerns a 78 years old male with extremely severe peripheral artery disease: a Left limb amputation and a Right limb trophic ulcer. He presents Three right consecutive artery occlusions: Mid-SFA, Popliteal, proximal and distal posterior tibial.
This extremely complex case was treated using different technics according to the arterial segment: Sub intimal angioplasty and long stenting for SFA, Drug coated balloon for Popliteal, DES for proximal posterior tibial and coronary technics for plantar arteries.
Step-by-Step Procedure
Right Antegrade femoral access
Pre-procedure discussion of strategy for a multilevel artery occlusion
Guide wire selection and escalation for crossing

Pre-dilatation of more than 50cm with low profile long balloon
Technics to re--enter in foot arteries
DES for distal leg arteries
DCB for popliteal artery
Self-expandable drug eluting stent for dissection and residual stenosis of SFA

Max A.Thank you for your comment. This patient requires a monthly follow up to maintain patency in order to assure ulcer healing . After 6 months the risk of restenosis and occlusion is high .

Alaaeldin H. what is the expected patency for this long segment ,multilevel occlusion.
Max A. Thank you for your comment. This patient requires a monthly follow up to maintain patency in order to assure ulcer healing . After 6 months the risk of restenosis and occlusion is high .
marcus P. Set good
Sandeep S. why did we have to break the end of Eluvia stent towards the end of deployment.
Georgi G. Leave a new comment to the discussion
Max A. It appears to be more convenient in long ELUVIA stent.
Collu B. Congratulations for very informative case
