Substent Anchor Technique for Recanalisation of a Full Metal Jacket Femoropopliteal Occlusion: An Unconventional Road to Rome

In the current issue of European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Short Reports Testi et  al. present an unconventional way to recanalise a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of a previously full metal jacket (FMJ) stented femoropopliteal arterial segment.1 With the rapid expanding endovascular armamentarium the number of complex atherosclerotic lesions will increase significantly and patie nts, such as those presented in the case of Testi et al., will be encountered more frequently in daily vascular surgery clinical practice.
