(A) Popliteal arteriogram reveals an occlusion in the distal popliteal artery (arrow). The distal popliteal artery occlusion is crossed with a V18 wire and 0.018-in Quick Cross catheter, and the catheter is advanced into the posterior tibial artery. Contrast injection (B) confirms catheter location across the occlusion within the posterior tibial artery. (C) Angioplasty of the distal popliteal artery and the posterior tibial artery is performed with a low-profile 2.5-mm balloon. Postangioplasty arteriogram (D) reveals improved flow across the infrapopliteal stenosis, with persistent luminal narrowing (arrow). (E) A balloon expandable stent is advanced to the location of the residual infrapopliteal arterial stenosis (arrow). The stent is deployed, and postdeployment arteriogram (F) reveals significantly improved luminal diameter and flow through the distal popliteal and proximal posterior tibial artery with decreased filling of collateral arteries.
