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.
