Endovascular Revascularization of Superficial Femoral Artery Stent Occlusion by Combined Retrograde Access With Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis and Pharmaco-Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Abstract	We report a case of a patient with history of peripheral arterial disease who presented to the hospital with critical limb ischemia. We performed endovascular revascularization of stent thrombosis in superficial femoral artery (SFA), by retrograde pedal access with wire exteriorization. This case highlights the utility of retrograde pedal access in failed antegrade approach of culprit lesion in SFA and the effectiveness of multimodal endovascular thrombectomy to restore blood flow in patients who are otherwise not suitable for surgical interventions.
