Abstract

Objective: Caring for elderly patients with peripheral artery disease is challenging given their complex anatomy and frail physiology. Despite advances in endovascular therapy, intervening on this patient population poses unique technical and ethical considerations. Present is a case that illustrates both the technical challenges and the ethical dilemma in the care of a 94-year old man with end stage renal disease treated for critical limb ischemia.
