Three cases of fusion imaging in endovascular treatment of occlusive peripheral artery disease

Abstract

Endovascular treatment of peripheral artery disease has dramatically improved in the past decades; however, occlusive or stenotic lesions of the femoral-popliteal artery segment remain a significant challenge for vascular specialists. Real-time guidance based on vessel visualization might be helpful for successful recanalization. Herein, we present three successful cases of fusion imaging during endovascular treatment of the femoral-popliteal artery segments.

Fusion Imaging with a Mobile C-Arm for Peripheral Arterial Disease

“…Preliminary studies on fusion imaging for lower extremities revascularization was reported in several studies for iliac lesions. [10][11][12] At the moment, fusion imaging is not used routinely for the treatment of femoro-popliteal lesions. Moreover, this technology was described only in hybrid rooms equipped with fixed plane sensors.…”
