Objectives: To describe a procedure of the retrograde approach for endovascular treatment of complex popliteal and/or infrapopliteal occlusions and to determine its safety and efficacy in minimizing failure rates.
Methods: Between January 2010 and March 2012, 28 patients (16 male and 12 female patients) received retrograde tibial approach after failure of antegrade intervention. There were 3 patients with severe claudication (Rutherford category 3) and 25 patients with critical limb ischemia (Rutherford category 4 to 6).
Endovascular treatment of central venous stenosis and obstruction in hemodialysis patients.

Background: Central venous stenosis and obstruction (CVD) is a serious and prevalent challenge to both resolve the venous hypertension symptoms and maintain the pantency of the ipsilateral hemodialysis access in hemodialysis patients. This study aimed to summarize our experience of the endovascular management of the central venous stenosis or obstruction in hemodialysis patients.
Methods: Twenty-four haemodialysis cases of central vein stenosis or obstruction with ipsilateral functional vascular access in our hospital between July 2006 and February 2012 were treated by interventional therapy and the data were analyzed retrospectively.
Background: Endovascular recanalization (EVR) is becoming the primary therapy for patients with central venous (brachiocephalic, subclavian, and superior vena cava) occlusion (CVO) caused by benign etiology. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed our experience in using EVR to treat benign CVO in 10 patients between April 2005 and September 2010.
Methods: The mean age of the patients was 65.
Objective: To discuss the technique details of subintimal arterial flossing with antegrade-retrograde intervention (SAFARI) to improve technical success in the treatment of chronic total occlusions (CTO) diseases in lower extremity when there is failure to reenter the distal true lumen.
Methods: Between May 2009 and Aug 2010, 15 patients underwent endovascular recanalization with SAFARI technique. There were 8 male and 7 female patients with a mean age of 74.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the endovascular intervention for transatlantic inter society consensus (TASC) type C and type D femoropopliteal artery disease.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on 95 cases (98 lower limbs) with TASC type C and type D femoropopliteal artery arteriosclerosis lesion treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and/or primary stent implantation from January 2007 to April 2009. We used ankle brachial index (ABI), Fontaine stages, limb salvage percentage and primary patency to evaluate the efficacy of the endovascular intervention therapy.
[The analysis of the follow-up results for the crural artery bypass].

Objective: To review the follow-up results of the crural artery bypass.
Methods: Sixty-five limbs in 64 patients with long stenosis or occlusion in femoral artery and popliteal artery were performed 65 times femoral-crural artery bypass surgery or femoral-popliteal-crural bypass surgery during April 2001 to July 2007. The ankle-brachial index before bypass surgery was 0.
Background: We reviewed the outcomes of reoperations for 29 patients (30 limbs) who had undergone occluded arterial bypass in the lower limbs from May 1996 to September 2005.
Methods: The 30 lower limbs of the 29 patients with arteriosclerotic obstruction received 44 reoperations, including thrombectomy alone (group T, 27) and inflow or outflow reconstruction plus thrombectomy (group C, 17). Among the 17 operations in group C, 17.
