Transpedal approach for iliac artery intervention: A rare case report

Achieving arterial blood flow again is the main priority for the patients having critical foot ischemia in terms of protecting foot. In recent years, more operations have been done to save foot with the increase in cardiovascular techniques and skills. Antegrade attempts in foot artery occlusion result in failure approximately by %20. Retrograde approaches are usually applied to the popliteal and infrapopliteal arteries. Very rarely, retrograde approach is applied in femoral artery occlusions. In this case, a very rare case provided with successful recanalization through a retrograde approach for a patient having fully clogged arteries from right external iliac artery outlet to popliteal artery is presented
