Percutaneous deep venous arterialization with balloon angioplasty salvaged a life-threatening critical limb in a hemodialysis patient after repeated pedal angioplasty failed: a case report

Abstract

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) with severe below-the-ankle (BTA) lesions is often difficult to revascularize with endovascular treatment (EVT) and surgical treatment. We present a case of successful limb salvage using percutaneous deep venous arterialization (pDVA) in a patient with CLTI whose BTA lesion reconstruction failed.
