Use of the Stingray Re-Entry System in Two Complex Cases of Occluded Superficial Femoral Arteries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Totally occluded infrainguinal arterial disease presents formidable challenges to endovascular revascularization. A variety of devices have been made available to make the crossing of these lesions more amenable to endovascular techniques. We discuss the novel use of a device that has been developed for crossing occluded coronary arteries, the Stingray Re-Entry System.

Percutaneous recanalisation of chronically occluded coronary arteries with the CrossBoss/Stingray system: first experience (report of three cases).
BACKGROUND AND AIM Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) within chronically occluded coronary arteries remain challenging procedures with a lower success rate compared to classic PCI. However, over the last years we have witnessed many technological advances in the treatment of chronic total occlusion (CTO) including new wires, retrograde approach, subintimal tracking and re-entry technique...
متن کاملThe ReeKross balloon catheter for Subintimal Angioplasty and Stenting of Occluded Superficial Femoral Arteries
Following the publication of the BASIL randomised control trial of bypass surgery versus angioplasty (SIA) of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) for critical leg ischaemia, it has become justified to attempt angioplasty as a first line therapy. As the results showed equivalence in terms of limb salvage, but lower cost and length of stay in favour of angioplasty, we now routinely opt for angio...
متن کاملInitial Experience and Feasibility of the New Low-Profile Stingray Catheter as Part of the Antegrade Dissection and Re-Entry Revascularization Strategy for Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions
BACKGROUND During antegrade dissection re-entry (ADR) of chronic total occlusions (CTO), the first-generation Stingray catheter requires the use of large-bore guides (sheathless 7.5 Fr or 8 Fr), which increases the risk for access site-related complications and compromises radial approaches. Smaller guiding sizes necessitate long guidewires (e.g., 300 cm) or guidewire extensions for catheter ad...
متن کاملRandomized control study of the outback LTD reentry catheter versus manual reentry for the treatment of chronic total occlusions in the superficial femoral artery.
PURPOSE To assess the efficacy and safety of the Outback device in patients with a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the superficial femoral artery and evaluate its impact on fluoroscopy and procedural times. MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2006 to March 2007, 52 patients affected by TASC II-D superficial femoral artery CTO were treated with subintimal recanalization. Clinical indications f...
متن کاملIlioprofunda Endobypass Can Successfully Treat a Post-Operative Femoral Pseudo-Aneurysm
INTRODUCTION A 75-year-old male patient with significant cardiopulmonary comorbidity presented with a 70-mm left femoral pseudoaneurysm 6 years after aortobifemoral bypass (and prior femoral endarterectomy). REPORT As the left superficial femoral artery was occluded, an ilioprofunda endobypass was undertaken following extraperitoneal exposure of the left limb of the bypass graft with subseque...
