YOUR HEART DESERVES THE BEST
Case of the week
A 59-year-old diabetic male with severe gangrene affecting his right foot for three weeks and a history of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) underwent a life-saving procedure.
Peripheral angiogram showed near-total occlusion of the right popliteal artery (PTA), total occlusion of the right anterior tibial artery (ATA), and superficial femoral artery (SFA).
Left femoral access and distal right PTA access taken. After adequate predilatation, 3x52mm DES deployed to right PTA followed by 6x200mm self expanding stent over commando wire deployed in the right SFA.
This case highlights the power of minimally invasive interventions in treating critical limb ischemia (CLI). By restoring blood flow, we aim to improve patient quality of life and limb salvage.
