Abstract
After successful treatment of a localized eccentric atheromatous depos it in the distal superficial femoral artery using the Simpson ''over-t he-wire'' atherectomy catheter, a short segment of guidewire tip was n oted in the proximal peroneal artery. A digital angiogram of the dista l vessels showed satisfactory run-off. There were no immediate clinica l sequelae and none after 2 months follow-up.
