CASE 1: Wire Crossing Strategies for Complex Infrapopliteal Lesions

Presented by Dr. Lieven Maene (Belgium)
Panel discussion with Dr. Ehrin Armstrong (USA) and Dr. Brian DeRubertis (USA)

Case Background: Patient with extensive ulcer at the heel for 3 months / Good fem-pop inflow / Occlusion of posterior tibial artery

Treatment Strategy: Target Revascularization of posterior tibial artery / Balloon angioplasty of target vessel

Guide Wire Techniques

  • Subintimal loop progression to gain the distal plantar arch
  • Retrograde recanalization of plantar arch
  • Retrograde advancement in posterior tibial artery
