Background : A newly emerging pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. As one of the effects is hematological changes related to the COVID-19 infection causing patient tend to thrombosis than hemorrhagic. Current review of evidence and statements on management of coagulopathy and thrombotic complications related to this novel disease is needs to be explored Case : Male 53 years old referred from Private Hospital, due to Severe pneumonia due to COVID-19 and Acute Limb Ischemia. This patient was assessed as Pneumonia COVID-19 severe with acute limb ischemia bilateral grade IIB and performed bilateral surgical thrombectomy with antegrade approach using fogarty catheter with the result was thrombus 10cm along the left femoral artery and thrombus 2cm in the right femoral artery. Discussion : With consideration of atherosclerotic diseases in this patient, we decided to give rivaroxaban as an anticoagulant combined with aspilet and statin high dose. But due to lack of source in our hospital, and patient also denied for further management, treatment for the patient cannot be optimal, so the patient discharge with unresolved limb ischemia. Conclusion : This case showed that the increase risk of heparin resistance in SARS-CoV-2 patient, it is recommend- ed to monitor heparin activity of UFH treatment based on anti-Xa levels instead of aPTT alone.

Herein, we report the case of a 59-year-old man with intermittent claudication of ~100 m, who complained of resting pain in his lower right extremity. A pelvic, contrast-enhanced, computed tomography scan showed the presence of cystic density in the lower segment of the right common femoral artery. Faced with the risk of acute limb ischemia, we navigated a challenging diagnostic procedure to choose an appropriate treatment for him. Additionally, we performed a pathological investigation of the excised common femoral artery following the excision bypass. On postoperative day 5, the patient was discharged from the hospital. During the 2-year follow-up, no new cysts were discovered, and the patient had favorable prognosis.

Abstract Background Failed aortofemoral and femoropopliteal bypass grafts in the lower extremity artery usually result in acute limb ischemia. Endovascular treatment and surgical revascularization have been reported for limb salvage. Case presentation A 72-year-old Japanese man was admitted with acute limb ischemia due to failed aortofemoral and femoropopliteal bypass grafts. Endovascular treatment with balloon angioplasty, thrombectomy, and stent implantation in the long chronic total occlusion from the right common iliac artery to the superficial femoral artery did not result in efficient flow due to thrombus transfer from a failed aortofemoral bypass graft. However, a rescue femorofemoral bypass (the left femoral to the right deep femoral artery) improved his symptoms, and implanted in-stent flow was gradually recovered. Lower extremity angiography performed 5 months later confirmed the patency of the iliofemoral in-stent flow. However, the femorofemoral bypass graft was unfortunately occluded due to the progression of left external iliac artery stenosis. The patency of the iliofemoral in-stent flow was confirmed at 1 year by ultrasonography. Conclusions Improvement of the deep femoral artery flow plays an important role in the treatment of acute limb ischemia due to failed aortofemoral and femoropopliteal bypass grafts. Thus, increased collateral circulation to the periphery through the deep femoral artery dissolved the remaining in-stent thrombus in the iliofemoral artery.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of antegrade vs crossover femoral artery access in the endovascular treatment of isolated below-the-knee (BTK) lesions in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Methods: Between January 2014 and December 2015, 224 high-risk patients (mean age 75.8±9.8 years; 151 men) with CLI underwent infragenicular interventions on 292 crural vessels in 3 European vascular centers. All patients had isolated TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) C (n=26) or D (n=198) BTK lesions. Primary endpoints were freedom from access-related complications and technical success comparing the antegrade vs crossover access groups. Results: Balloon angioplasty was the most used treatment modality (169 vessels, 75.4%). The technical success rate was 88.4% in the entire cohort and 88.0% in the antegrade group vs 90.4% in the crossover group (p>0.99). In all patients, the technical success rate was higher for stenotic lesions (100%) vs occlusions (85.5%, p=0.002) and in patients with TASC C BTK lesions (100%) vs TASC D (86.9%, p=0.033). The overall freedom from access-related complications was 97.8%: 99% in the antegrade group and 90.6% in the crossover group (p=0.022). Larger sheath size (5/6-F vs 4-F) was associated with a significantly higher risk for access-related complications (7.1% vs 1.1%, respectively; p=0.047). Conclusion: The present multicenter study showed high technical success and a low incidence of access-related complications in the treatment of isolated BTK lesions using either antegrade or crossover femoral access. The antegrade approach with the use of a 4-F system seems to have a significantly lower rate of access-related complications.

Purpose The guiding role of the Fogarty catheter was investigated among patients suffering from limb ischemia due to acute femoropopliteal bypass graft occlusion. Methods A total of 27 patients with a history of femoropopliteal bypass operation who was admitted with acute limb ischemia were enrolled in this retrospective study. In cases in which the Fogarty catheter could not be passed through the popliteal anastomosis, the popliteal region was explored and a new bypass or patch plasty was performed for the distal anastomosis. The cases in which the blood circulation was observed in the graft, but in which the Fogarty catheter balloon was stuck in the native vessels on the proximal and distal side of the graft and the balloon could be withdrawn by deflation, were referred to conventional angiography. The stenosis observed in native vessels was managed by endovascular stent grafting and/or balloon dilatation. Findings Graft patency was achieved in all patients. In 11 patients, conventional angiography was implemented following embolectomy. In these patients, all the occlusions found as significant on angiography were removed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Conclusion Effective use of Fogarty catheter is safe in acute femoropopliteal bypass graft occlusions and in particular, in the planning of further treatment following thrombectomy.

A 73-year-old male with left critical limb ischemia was scheduled to undergo below-the-knee amputation. Prior to the amputation, he was referred to our institute for endovascular treatment. We inserted the new 7-Fr 150-cm-long guiding catheter, SlenGuide®, into the external iliac artery from the right radial artery with the 7-Fr Glidesheath Slender®. We implanted two R2P® Misago® stents with rapid-exchange, 200-cm-long shaft system in the stenosis of the left superficial femoral artery. This new stent system involves rapid-exchange and a long shaft system; furthermore, it is useful in transradial stenting in the superficial femoral artery.

We report on successful catheter therapy of acute occlusions of popliteal and crural arteries due to distal embolization from a vascular sealing device. A 45 years-old male patient underwent percutaneous coronary angiography. After primary successful closure of the right femoral artery by a sealing device the patient developed acute ipsilateral lower limb ischemia, most probably due to embolization of a collagen/thrombin plug. Occlusions of the popliteal and crural vessels were successfully treated by percutaneous thrombectomy, thrombolysis and ballon angioplasty. Combined percutaneous catheter therapy is a therapeutic option for occlusions of popliteal and crural vessels due to embolization from a vascular sealing device.

BACKGROUND: Complications of the vascular access-site (VAS) are not uncommon. With the evolution of hemostatic techniques used in the access site closure, in the last two decades, the rate of VAS related complications has significantly reduced from 6% to 2%. However, they still remain to be an important cause of morbidity following catheterization procedures. The most common complications encountered with closure of VAS are hematoma formation, arterio-venous fistula, dissection, pseudo -aneurysm and limb ischemia. According to two meta-analyses, the incidences of these complications were very low. The incidence of collagen plug from an Angioseal(™) device causing acute leg ischemia is low and upon occurrence, the use of an Angioscore(™) balloon in successful revascularization has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 62-year-old male with known severe peripheral artery disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia had a successful angioplasty of a 100% chronically occluded right superficial femoral artery (SFA) via the left common femoral artery. An Angioseal (™) closure device was used to achieve hemostasis. The patient was discharged home after an uneventful post procedural course. Two days later, he presented to the ER with a cold and numb left lower extremity. On exam, the left lower extremity had no palpable pulse from below right femoral artery, confirmed by Doppler. The extremity was cold to touch with decreased sensory perception. Patient was found to have critical left lower extremity ischemia. He was emergently taken for a selective left lower extremity angiogram using the right common femoral artery for access. Fragments of the closure device and a collagen plug causing a total occlusion of the left common femoral artery were found. After a pre-dilatation with a 4.0x 40 balloon under prolonged inflations, a lesion reduction from 100 % to 30% with a TIMI 0 to TIMI 3 flow was achieved using an Angioscore (™) 5.0x 40 balloon inflated at 10 atmospheres. Subsequently, using laser 2.0 atherectomy of the left common femoral artery was performed. Flow in the dorsalis pedis artery was confirmed with Doppler. DISCUSSION: The Angio-Seal(™) device has a polylactide and polyglycolide polymer anchor, a collagen plug and a suture contained within a carrier system. Hemostasis is achieved by compressing the arterial puncture site between the anchor and the collagen plug. With newer studies, it appears that the occurrence of critical limb ischemia from collagen plug is under recognized. We therefore, with this case report urge the physicians to be aware of this serious though rare complication of closure devise and also highlight the successful use of Angioscore (™) balloon in the emergent treatment of non-athermatous vascular occlusion causing critical limb ischemia.
