I have a patient with right toe ischemic necrosis. The superficial femoral angiogram shows a heavily calcified, occluded distal popliteal artery extending to the three vessels as well as extensive collaterals, but there is no good visualization of the distal arteries to the ankle level. CTA was not helpful. What should be done in this case?
Dr. Mustapha responds.

What is your basic technique to recanalize an occluded SFA step-by-step? What would be your catheter of choice and so on?
Dr. Mustapha responds.
