Mastering the antegrade femoral artery access in patients with symptomatic lower limb ischemia: Learning curve, complications, and technical tips and tricks

“…Indeed, the ipsilateral antegrade femoral access has been recommended by several authors as only this approach provides adequate support and back‐up, maximizes angiographic resolution, and enables access to very distal vessels (eg plantar or pedal arteries) [2, 4–5, 13]. However, the antegrade access is more technically demanding, and is fraught by an increased risk of access site failure or complications (eg bleeding, dissection, or thrombosis) [2, 6, 13, 14].…”

Midterm Outcomes After Infrapopliteal Interventions in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia Based on the TASC II Classification of Below-the-Knee Arteries

“…Several case series have also recently demonstrated successful recanalization of occluded tibial lesions through retrograde pedal access, with minimal procedure-related complications. [13][14][15][16][17] This and other retrograde techniques may be an option to consider in CLI patients with TASC C/D infrapopliteal lesions that cannot be crossed using standard antegrade strategies due to disease complexity.…”

“…3,4 Indeed, different districts may require different approaches and techniques, from intraluminal recanalization to subintimal angioplasty or antegrade ipsilateral and retrograde tibial or popliteal accesses. 5,6 MENU À LA CARTE OR In addition, what works and is cost effective for the superficial femoral artery (SFA) might not be appropriate for the popliteal artery, the tibioperoneal vessels, or the below-the-ankle district. 4 Finally, goals of endovascular therapy remain different in a patient with claudication in comparison to a subject with CLI.…”
