Abstract:
To date, no ideal endovascular strategy has been established for traumatic arterial occlusion. Here, we report the outcomes of a combination of endovascular recanalization techniques applied in two patients with high risk of leg amputation. A 33-year-old man with popliteal artery occlusion due to blunt trauma was treated by balloon angioplasty with long inflation time and aspiration thrombectomy. A 74-year-old woman with popliteal artery occlusion after total knee replacement was treated by aspiration thrombectomy and stent placement. In both cases, we achieved satisfactory recanalization, and peripheral ischemia was absent even 1 year later.
