Abstract
This case panel discussion addresses some of the problems and judgment decisions required in a patient with extensive forefoot gangrene, a stenosis of the superficial femoral artery (SFA), and occlusions of all three leg arteries in the mid and upper leg. With extensive foot debridement to the trans-metatarsal level, balloon angioplasty of the SFA, and a vein bypass to the distal anterior tibial artery, a functional foot remnant was saved. The timing of the various procedures, technical details regarding them, and other issues are discussed.
