Technical Approach to Percutaneous Femoropopliteal Bypass and Deep Vein Arterialization

In the management of patients with critical limb ischemia endovascular revascularization plays a crucial role improving amputation-free survival, ischemic rest pain, and wound healing. Endovascular standard of care of peripheral arterial occlusive disease involves angioplasty and/or stent placement. The following discussion is intended to familiarize interventional physicians with the rationale, physiological concepts, and technical approach to developing endovascular procedures —percutaneous femoropopliteal bypass and percutaneous deep vein arterialization.
