Abstract
A 78-year-old woman with a prior history of a right femoropopliteal bypass 5 years before and a coronary artery bypass graft 3 months before was admitted for a non-healing ulcer on her right foot. A computed tomography angiogram revealed occlusion of her superficial femoral artery (SFA) from its orifice to the anastomotic site of the bypass graft. The lesion was thought to consist of a partial atherosclerotic plaque with a large number of relatively fresh thrombi, referring to an angiogram of her lower extremity 3 months ago. We recanalized the occlusive SFA by Fogarty thrombectomy, and endovascular therapy preceded by direct SFA endarterectomy.
