FoxHollow atherectomy as a treatment modality for common femoral artery occlusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Common femoral artery occlusions are usually treated with open vascular surgical repair. We present a case of common femoral artery occlusion that was successfully treated with the FoxHollow SilverHawk atherectomy catheter. The use of this device obviated the need for adjunctive balloon angioplasty and stenting. The patient was discharged without complications after 1 day.

We present the case of an 81-year-old female with flush occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Initially, the antegrade approach failed due to flush occlusion without stump. Hard, round surfaced, calcific, and eccentric plaque of the ostium of SFA was also present, which involved distal common femoral artery (CFA). Thus, we successfully used...

M anagement of superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease remains one of the great challenges for peripheral endovascular therapy. Failure of percutaneous balloon angioplasty as a result of residual luminal narrowing or dissection is a frequent occurrence, especially in patients with calcified lesions, long stenoses, or occlusions.1 The implantation of nitinol stents for treatment of va...

OBJECTIVES A prospective, multicenter (18)fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging study was performed to estimate the correlations among arterial FDG uptake and atherosclerotic plaque biomarkers in patients with peripheral artery disease. BACKGROUND Inflammation within atherosclerotic plaques is associated with instability of...
متن کاملTreatment of Angio-Seal® Vascular Closure Device-Induced Acute Femoral Artery Occlusion with SilverHawk® Directional Atherectomy
Vascular closure devices provide a safe and cost-effective method to achieve rapid hemostasis and early ambulation after angiographic procedures. Rarely, they can result in arterial injury with resultant stenosis or acute arterial closure requiring open surgical intervention. We report an Angio-Seal® vascular closure device-induced acute arterial closure successfully treated percutaneously with...
