| Abstract |
|
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is being used to treat peripheral artery disease increasingly in place of conventional peripheral vascular surgery. Critical limb ischemia is the most severe form of peripheral artery disease and presents with ischemic resting pain and non-healing foot wounds or gangrene. It can result in amputation and increased mortality if aggressive revascularization to obtain sufficient blood is not performed as soon as possible. Generally, both femoral arteries are used for vascular access. However, we could not use the femoral artery for vascular access in a patient with multiple contractures of the extremities due to an old cerebral infarction. Consequently, we used the left brachial artery to perform successful revascularization of the left foot in critical limb ischemia. |
