Abstract:
After successful treatment of a localized eccentric atheromatous deposit in the distal superficial femoral artery using the Simpson "over-the-wire" atherectomy catheter, a short segment of guidewire tip was noted in the proximal peroneal artery. A digital angiogram of the distal vessels showed satisfactory run-off. There were no immediate clinical sequelae and none after 2 months follow-up.
