Treating Chronically Occluded leg vessels has been a big challenge for decades. Luckily, with newer and safer technologies, Totally Occluded vessels are not a challenge to us at Shinsegae Heart & Vascular Center. We use multiple techniques of outpatient intervention. Different points of access allow for safe opening and reconstruction of these vessels.
The Occluded Leg Vessels Case
In this example, our patient is a 65-year-old gentleman with the disease and a smoker. The patient showed absent circulation in the left lower extremity. The angiographic assessment showed an occluded femoral artery. An occluded femoral artery is a condition causing severe symptoms that predisposes the patient to the risk of amputation. This was a 45-minute outpatient procedure that ended up with gradient and excellent results and instant resolution of severe leg symptoms. The picture below shows the occluded blood vessel before and the results of the open vessel after.
