Modern approaches in the treatment of occlusive restenosis of the arteries of the lower extremities. Case report

Abstract

Chronic lower limb ischemia is becoming increasingly common among patients worldwide. This is a comorbid condition, which is accompanied by chronic pain, trophic ulcers and gangrene, as well as a decrease in the quality of life. Despite the chronic nature of ischemia, the absence of treatment is accompanied by a high rate of limb amputation and mortality. It has been proven that in patients with peripheral arterial disease of the lower extremities, the risk of cardiovascular events and mortality increases. The publication proposes to consider the tactics of minimally invasive arterial revascularization in a patient with occlusive restenosis of the right superficial femoral artery. The correct choice of minimally invasive surgical treatment in combination with a complex of both non-drug (walking) and drug methods made it possible to restore viability and preserve the lower limb without unfavorable consequences for the patient’s health.
