ABSTRACT
The popliteal artery is a relatively short vascular structure, but acute occlusion can decrease blood flow into the lower extremities and cause subsequent critical limb ischemia, amputation, and even mortality. Further, peripheral artery disease patients frequently have combined cardio-cerebrovascular disease. Here, we report a rare case of sudden bilateral thrombotic total occlusion in the popliteal arteries of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular thrombi. This patient has been successfully managed by endovascular therapy and subsequent intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy.
