Clinical cases in vascular techniques
This section provides a selection of clinical cases provided by experts in vascular techniques.
A 79-year-old man with diabetes, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and chronic kidney disease presents with necrosis at the site of a prior toe amputation, performed without revascularisation. TcpO₂ is critically low (3 mmHg), and the WIfI score is 2-3-1. Angiography reveals limited BTK runoff with anterior tibial and peroneal patency, but occlusions of the dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial. Diffuse calcification is observed in foot arteries (MAC-score 5), consistent with a desert foot pattern.
What would be your revascularisation strategy in this challenging scenario?
