ABSTRACT
The primary success rate of intraluminal angioplasty for long superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusions is low due to the long occlusion length and the hard component of the occlusion. To overcome this problem, subintimal angioplasty has been previously proposed and this technique is now considered as an effective method for the treatment of SFA occlusions. Subsequently, various devices and strategies have been developed to increase the success rate of subintimal angioplasty for SFA occlusions. Here, we present a case in which a long chronic total occlusion of SFA was successfully recanalized by the retrograde subintimal angioplasty through the popliteal artery after the failed antegrade subintimal approach.
