Part I - Case presentation

An 83-year-old patient with:

  • Coronary disease / valvular disease / atrial fibrillation / diabetic status / dyslipidaemia
  • Previous EVAR in 2011/ TEVAR in 2013/ complete femoro-popliteal stenting in 2017/ TAVI in 2023
  • Clinical worsening status with Rutherford IV on left side
  • Recent investigation with angio CT scan and per operative angiography showing:
    • Aorto-ilio-femoral patency associated with profonda thrombosis to distal reinjection branches, and superficial femoral and popliteal arteries thrombosis with reinjection on tibial arteries

Per operative angiogram of the left leg

  • CFA patent
  • Stump for SFA
  • Thrombosis of the PFA ostium
  • Collaterals for distal perfusion

Per operative angiogram of the left leg

  • Very slow flow
  • Distal reinjection on BTK arteries
  • TTP reinjection with peroneal artery
  • TA reinjection with slow flow

Part II - Our decision
  • Brachial access for endo treatment of the left leg (through previous EVAR)
  • PFA recanalisation
  • +/- SFA recanalisation
First attempt with Asahi Gladius® 0.018 – 300 = failure
Second attempt with Asahi MGPV 0.018 + Passeo-18® 5 x 6 mm 0balloon to add more push = failure
Third attempt with Asahi Halberd® 0.018 – 300: crossing of proximal cap = distal re-entry failure
Fourth attempt with Asahi MGPV 0.018 = distal re-entry failure
Fifth attempt with Asahi Gladius® 0.014 – 300 = successful crossing!
Angioplasty with Passeo-18®, 0.018 5 x 60 mm balloon = first angioplasty 2 mm
New angioplasty with Armada­™ ABBOTT 0.014 4 x 60 mm balloon, during 2 minutes, at 12 atm = second angioplasty
Control with PFA permeability but lesions remaining
New angioplasty with DEB: Passeo® -18 Lux® BIOTRONIK 5 x 80 during 3 minutes, at 8 atm
Control post-angioplasty with good result on the main trunk recanalisation with 2 distal main branches
Distal angioplasty on bifurcation with Armada­™ 0.014 3 x 40 mm balloon, during 3 minutes, at 10 atm
Control with good result and addition of 1 mg Risordan to reduce arterial spasm
New control post-Risordan
Control with oblique view
  • Distal control at reinjection zone with improved flux
  • Decision to stop at this point without SFA recanalisation after a 56-minute procedure
  • Patient discharged at D+1 with Rutherford Class IV to RC II/III at 1 month and same RC II status at 6 months post intervention (mai 2024)
