Infrapopliteal balloon angioplasty for the treatment of chronic occlusive disease.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: There is little documentation of the effectiveness of percutaneous balloon angioplasty (PTA) of infrapopliteal vessels for the treatment of chronic lower extremity ischemia. This study reviewed our recent experience with infrapopliteal ... Read more...

Femoropopliteal prosthetic bypass graft infection due to Mycobacterium abscessus localized by FDG-PET/CT scan.

29 Sep 2009 A patient with postvascular graft placement presented with bacteremia but no localizing symptoms. Our standard infected graft workup of computed tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and additional laboratory ... Read more...

Arteriovenous fistula complicating directional atherectomy of the popliteal artery.

29 Sep 2009 We describe a case of a 70-year-old man with a critical popliteal artery stenosis treated by directional atherectomy and complicated by a huge arteriovenous fistula. A 70-year-old man, previously treated by bilateral femoropopliteal bypass, was ... Read more...
