Endovascular Revascularization for the Obstruction after Patch Angioplasty in Buerger's Disease
نویسنده
چکیده
Surgical revascularization for patients with Buerger's disease is possible only in a few cases, due to the diffuse segmental involvement and the lack of distal runoff vessels available for bypass surgery. We encountered a case of resting pain in the right foot, coldness with dysesthesia, and cyanosis on the right 1st toe. The patient was treated with an endovascular intervention after vein patch angioplasty failed due to an inflammatory reaction of Buerger's disease. We suggest that an endovascular procedure can be an effective treatment, even in addition to more conservative and surgical management, in patients with Buerger's disease and critical limb ischemia.

Endovascular Treatment of Multilevel Chronic Total Occlusion Using a Stent Puncture Technique in Buerger's Disease
We reported a patient with Buerger's disease who presented with critical limb ischemiawith prior recurrent occlusions after multiple surgical and endovascular treatments. Total occlusion of the whole native femoropopliteal and infrapopliteal arteries was observed. The femoropopliteal bypass graft, as well as a stent that was implanted in the mid-popliteal artery, were also occluded. Because of ...

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) represents the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and frequently occurs in medically frail patients. CLI patients frequently exhibit multi-segmental PAD commonly including the tibial arterial segment. Endovascular therapy has been established as first-line revascularization strategy for most CLI patients. Restenosis was reported to occur in up to ...

Advances in endovascular therapies during the past decade have broadened the options for treating peripheral vascular disease percutaneously. Endovascular treatment offers a lower risk alternative to open surgery in many patients with multiple comorbidities. Noninvasive physiological tests and arterial imaging precede an endovascular intervention and help localize the disease and plan the proce...

Background & Aims: The aging of the population has caused an increase in the number of elderly people who receive treatment for cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of coronary artery disease is higher in the elderly, and on the other hand, complications after cardiac events are worse in the elderly. The most common cause of death in the elderly is cardiovascular disease. Rapid restoration of...
متن کاملManagement of Critical Limb Ischemia.
Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a clinical syndrome of ischemic pain at rest or tissue loss, such as nonhealing ulcers or gangrene, related to peripheral artery disease. CLI has a high short-term risk of limb loss and cardiovascular events. Noninvasive or invasive angiography help determine the feasibility and approach to arterial revascularization. An endovascular-first approach is often advoc...
