Abstract

To assess whether the retrograde transpopliteal approach is a safe, practical and effective alternative to femoral puncture for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Forty PTAs in 38 patients were evaluated. Intentional subintimal recanalization was performed in 13 limbs. Ultrasound evaluation of the popliteal fossa was carried out 30 min and 24 hr postprocedurally in the first 10 patients to exclude local complications. All patients had a follow-up of at least 6 weeks. The indication for PTA was critical ischemia in seven limbs and disabling claudication in the remainder. Stenoses (single or multiple) were present in 24 and occlusion in 15. The superficial femoral artery (SFA) was the commonest segment affected (36) followed by common femoral artery (CFA) in four and iliac artery in four. Technical success was achieved in 38 of 39 limbs where angioplasty was carried out. In one limb no lesion was found. Immediate complications were distal embolization in two and thrombosis in one. None of these required immediate surgery. There were no puncture site hematomas or popliteal arteriovenous fistulae. Symptomatic patency at 6 weeks was 85%. Further reconstructive surgery was required in three limbs and amputation in two. The ...Continue Reading
