Successful recanalization of total chronic occlusion of the superficial femoral artery by antegrade subintimal angioplasty with stenting using the Pioneer Plus Re-Entry Catheter
Abstract:A b s t r a c tThe subintimal angioplasty is one of the most frequent techniques used for total chronic occlusion (CTO) treatment. Nevertheless, this approach is limited by the lack of controlled re-entry into the true lumen of the target vessel. We present a case of a 85-yearold man with symptomatic CTO of the left superficial femoral artery (SFA). After initially unsuccessful subintimal recanalization with Confianza wire, Pioneer Plus Catheter with Intravascular Ultrasound Volcano system guidance were used f… Show more
