Abstract
Infrapopliteal angioplasty was performed using percutaneous antegrade catheterization via the Popliteal artery; this was done in a sixty-fiv e-year-old patient suffering from lower limb ischemia, with an occlude d superficial femoral artery. The purpose of the procedure was to impr ove the distal runoff, prior to femoropopliteal bypass surgery. The te chnique is fully described.
