Abstract

Subintimal recanalization can be a useful procedure in selected patients with severe peripheral vascular disease with tissue loss or rest pain and limited surgical bypass options. Technical failure occurs in approximately 20% of patient who undergo percutaneous intentional extraluminal recanalization due to inability to reenter the distal true lumen. A technique to improve technical success when performing subintimal recanalization when there is failure to reenter the distal true lumen or possibly when there is a limited segment of patent distal target vessel for reentry is proposed. Further evaluation of this technique is necessary to confirm its safety and determine its technical and clinical success.
