Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed via an antegrade popliteal puncture. This technique was utilized because the patient had a superficial femoral artery occlusion and coexistent popliteal stenoses, with the occlusion unable to be traversed in the usual common femoral artery antegrade approach. To our knowledge, this technique has not been described in the literature. The clinical utility of this approach and important anatomical considerations will be discussed.
