Flush ostial occlusion of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is challenging for endovascular treatment. Neither ipsilateral nor contralateral access is easy. The drawback of ipsilateral common femoral artery (CFA) access is that the CFA is too short for catheter manipulation and sheath engagement. Contralateral retrograde CFA access could have merit, but it has the drawback of poor pushability and torquability in the manipulation of devices. The most challenging part of flush ostial occlusion is the difficulty of wire engagement into the SFA orifice. We describe a case of successful treatment of a flush-occluded long SFA lesion using ultrasound-guided direct ipsilateral ostial access.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of bone (PLB) is an ultrarare tumor, characterized by its aggressive clinical behavior, high heterogeneity, and dismal prognosis. Here, we present the 68Ga-FAPI-04 and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings in a case of PLB affecting the left femur. FAPI PET/CT showed more bone lesions and higher uptake in the multiple metastatic lesions compared with FDG PET/CT.

This first-in-man (FIM) study evaluated the feasibility and safety of a new peripheral plaque atherectomy system in patients with symptomatic lower extremity artery disease (LEAD). Ten patients with symptomatic LEAD (Rutherford class 2-5) were enrolled in a prospective, single-center study from March to April 2024. Patients aged 18-85 years with target lesions showing ≥70% stenosis and reference vessel diameters ≥1.

A 52-year-old man with a short chronic total occlusion in the left superficial femoral artery underwent drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty. Evaluation using integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound revealed that the plaque volume of fibrosis was compressed just after treatment (from 494.67 mm to 398.

We report a case of a 75-year-old man diagnosed with Parkes-Weber syndrome with an infected common femoral artery aneurysm secondary to chronic venous ulcers and groin infection. Given the symptomatic and rapid enlargement of the aneurysm, emergency aneurysmectomy and crossover femoro-femoral bypass were performed with an omental flap routed intraluminally through the aneurysm of the ipsilateral external iliac artery. The transarterial route enabled the short-cutting of the omental flap and the potential prevention of infection in the adjacent external iliac artery.
