Endovascular Approach

Purpose: This technical note aims to show a challenging endovascular treatment approach of a giant and tortuous ruptured popliteal artery aneurism Materials and Methods: An 86-year-old male patient was admitted for acute lower right limb ischemia. Angio-MSCT showed highly calcified superficial femoral artery, with a 180° bend in distal portion, followed by a large popliteal aneurism (63 × 61 mm) with a large extent hematoma (142 × 112 × 104 mm). Endovascular approach was chosen due to high morbidity. Results: Anterior puncture of right superficial femoral artery was performed under ultrasound guidance. Despite various intents, the 0.035 hydrophilic coated wire could not be crossed distally through the aneurism. Retrograde access was performed via tibio-peroneal trunk under fluoroscopic guidance with a micropuncture set. A stiff 0.035″ Glidewire® was successfully advanced into the proximal portion of the aneurism through a 5F vertebral catheter externalized with a snare from the femoral sheath obtaining a “through-and-through wire” technique. Tightening of both ends of the wire helped gain support and straightened curves. Two stent grafts were implanted with no residual leak at 1 month follow-up. Conclusion: Anterograde and retrograde approach was useful to perform a through-and-through wire technique in a challenging case of a tortuous ruptured popliteal artery aneurism.

Legal Consequences

We report two cases of femoral vein thrombosis after arterial PTA and subsequent pressure stasis. We discuss the legal consequences of these complications for information policies. Because venous thrombembolism following an arterial PTA might cause serious sequel or life threatening complications, there is a clear obligation for explicit information of the patients about this rare complication.

Good Treatment Option

We demonstrate feasibility of implantation of a self-expanding interwoven nitinol stent in a claudicant, where recanalization attempt of a heavily calcified, occluded superficial femoral artery (TASC D lesion) was complicated by a previously implanted, fractured standard stent. Wire passage through the occlusion and beyond the fractured stent could only be achieved through the subintimal space. A dedicated reentry device was used to allow distal wire entry into the true lumen at the level of the popliteal artery. Despite crushing of the fractured stent with a series of increasingly sized standard balloons, a significant recoil remainded in the area of the crushed stent. To secure patency of the femoro-popliteal artery we therefore decided to implant the novel self-expanding interwoven nitinol stent (Supera Veritas (TM), IDEV), whose unique feature is an exceptional high radial strength. Patient presented asymptomatic without any impairment of his walking capacity at three month follow up and duplex ultrasound confirmed patency of the stent. Subintimal recanalizations can be complicated by previously implanted stents, in particular in the presence of stent fracture, where intraluminal wire passage often can not be achieved. Considering the high radial strength and fracture resistance, interwoven nitinol stents represent a good treatment option in those challenging cases and they can be used to crush standard nitinol and ballonexpandable stents.
