External iliac artery to tibial arteries vein graft for inaccessible femoral artery
An endovascular-first approach to limb salvage and relief from lifestyle-limiting claudication is widely accepted. Stenosis or short occlusion of common, superficial femoral and popliteal arteries can be corrected with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with stent positioning. Patency rates of these procedures are limited. We report our experience with external iliac artery to the infrapopliteal vessels vein grafts when the endovascular treatment fails.
