Peripheral artery disease is a condition that occurs due to narrowing or occlusion of arterial lumen usually secondary to atherosclerosis. Endovascular treatments are minimally invasive procedures that have become popular for recanalization of such calcified/sclerosed arteries. However, heavily calcified arteries make these procedures challenging and are more prone to complications like balloon rupture and bleeding. Herein, we report a novel case of rupture of superficial femoral artery and its management using self-expanding Supera stent.
外周动脉疾病是一种由于动脉腔狭窄或闭塞引起的病症,通常继发于动脉粥样硬化。血管内治疗是一种微创手术,已成为再通此类钙化/硬化动脉的常用方法。然而,严重钙化的动脉使这些手术具有挑战性,并且更容易出现球囊破裂和出血等并发症。在此,我们报告一例股浅动脉破裂的新病例及其使用自膨式Supera支架的治疗情况。
