Abstract

Objective: To investigate the feasibility and application value via the popliteal artery for treating long and chronic total occlusions(CTO) in ipsilateral femoral-popliteal arteries. Methods: A retrospective analysis was undertaken of 26 patients who underwent retrograde recanalization via a popliteal artery access for long and CTO in ipsilated femoral-popliteal arteries. Success rate of retrograde puncture and femoral-popliteal artery recanalization were summarized. The complications and short-term clinical efficacy were also analyzed． Results: Technical success(puncture of the popliteal artery and femoral-popliteal artery recanalization) was achieved in all cases. The clinical symptoms improved significantly after operation. Compared with pre-procedure data, the ankle-brachial index(ABI) increased significantly from 0.32±0.13 to 0.82±0.15(P<0.05). Perioperative complications related to popliteal access included 1 pseudoaneurysm， 1 arterio-venous fistula and 3 hematomas in the popliteal region. Restenosis or occlusion were found in 4 patients during 6 months following-up. The primary patency at 6 months was 84.6%(22/26). Conclusion: Retrograde approach via the popliteal artery is a safe and effective technique for long and CTO in femoral-popliteal arteries, which can be considered as first choice after failed antegrade recanalization.
