Trans-stent graft thrombectomy for the treatment of long stent graft thrombosis in the femoropopliteal artery

At present, no consensus has been reached regarding the optimal management of stent graft thrombosis in the femoropopliteal artery. We present a case of long thrombosis of a Viabahn stent graft implanted in the superficial femoral artery that was successfully treated by thrombectomy using a trans-Vi...

description At present, no consensus has been reached regarding the optimal management of stent graft thrombosis in the femoropopliteal artery. We present a case of long thrombosis of a Viabahn stent graft implanted in the superficial femoral artery that was successfully treated by thrombectomy using a trans-Viabahn approach at the mid-thigh segment. The advantages of this approach include that it preserves the common femoral artery and popliteal artery untouched without scarring, allowing for a future site of surgical anastomosis. This technique could be a reasonable approach when performing surgical thrombectomy for stent graft thrombosis in the femoropopliteal artery.
