Abstract
Chronic total occlusions are a common cause of both claudication and critical limb ischemia. Currently, 40%-50% of all individuals undergoing lower extremity interventions will have a chronic total occlusion. Endovascular specialist should be familiar with the different treatment algorithms and classifications systems. Many different techniques have been shown to be successful in crossing the lesion and for re-entry when needed. The vascular access obtained to cross the lesion is frequently dictated by lesion location, lesion length, and the distal runoff in the affected limb.
期刊介绍:
Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
