Retrograde Use of Re-Entry Catheter for Revascularization of Superficial Femoral Artery Chronic Total Occlusion

06/04/2013

Jon C. George , MD, MBA;

The authors present a case of endovascular revascularization of a chronic total occlusion via retrograde use of a re-entry catheter, which allows an alternative strategy for revascularization when antegrade approaches fail.

The authors present a case of...
