Aim
Comparison between intraluminal and subintimal angioplasty with review of technique, factors affecting the success and complications with special emphasis on factors that could predict the wire route meanwhile using simple techniques.
Methods
This is a non-randomized study with prospectively collected data that included 159 patients presented from 2011 to 2014 to the vascular surgery department with critical chronic lower limb ischemia due to atherosclerotic femoropopliteal occlusive disease for whom percutaneous angioplasty was done. Patients presenting with non-salvageable limbs requiring primary major amputation and non-atherosclerotic causes of CLI were excluded.
Results
75.5% of the lesionswere crossed transluminally while 19.5% of the lesions were crossed subintimally. In 8.. Read More»
