Approach: puncture of stented femoral artery
Analyze the CT angiography of this 85 year-old claudicant male patient with HTA, PAD, bilateral common iliac and right CFA lesions, and tell us how you would treat!
Part I - Case presentation
Patient history
85-year-old male patient
Symptomatology
- Bilateral claudication right limb > left limb (Rutherford 3)
Medical history
- HTA
- Peripheral arterial disease
Duplex scan
- Common iliac arteries stenosis / Right CFA stenosis
CT angiography
Part II - Treatment
Answer to our poll: Endovascular repair by outpatient hospitalization
Strategy
- Stenting of the right common femoral artery by cross-over
- Puncture of the stented right common femoral artery
- Iliac kissing stent
1 - Stenting of the right common femoral artery by cross-over
Retrograde femoral puncture for cross-over
Relative counter-indications
- Aorto-bifemoral bypass ++
- Severe aorto-iliac lesions
Advantages
- X-ray exposure
- Concomitant endovascular repair
- Compression
Drawbacks
- Cross-over procedure
- Longer catheter
- Worse pushability
- Patient misunderstanding
- Cost
Duplex scan-guided puncture to increase the safety and the efficacy of ACD
2/ Puncture of the stented right common femoral artery
3 - Iliac kissing stent
Take-home messages
- Duplex-guided puncture is mandatory
- CFA stenting does not prevent retrograde femoral puncture
