We aimed to describe a technique for approaching the common femoral artery (CFA) in cases where doing so is difficult owing to an occluded lesion caused by a previously implanted stent. A 72-year-old woman had severe stenotic lesions in both iliac arteries that required an approach via the bilateral femoral arteries. The right CFA had a previously implanted stent and a completely occluded lesion that extended from the superficial femoral artery (SFA). A 20G needle was inserted through the proximal SFA, and the needle tip was advanced into the CFA stent and passed through the occluded lesion using a microcatheter and guide wire (GW). This allowed us to insert a guide catheter via the GW into the occluded lesion. No complications, such as bleeding, were observed after the procedure. When the CFA is occluded by a stent, an ascending approach through the proximal SFA is a viable treatment option. An occluded lesion due to a previously implanted stent makes approaching the common femoral artery difficult. Hence, alternative approaches are needed. In this regard, an approach via the proximal superficial femoral artery may prove useful. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
