Doppler ultrasound and digital subtraction angiography showed his left superficial femoral artery (SFA) was chronic total occlusion (CTO), and we performed endovascular treatment (EVT). We advanced a guide-wire by contralateral transfemoral approach, but guide-wire could not penetrate the occluded SFA lesion antegradely. Thus, we tried to approach the CTO lesion retrogradely. A guide-wire passed from popliteal artery to distal SFA. With a reverse-controlled antegrade and retrograde approach technique, we were able to pass the CTO lesion. Finally, two stents were implanted. We experienced a case in which retrograde approach via collateral channel from popliteal artery was effective to CTO of SFA.</p> ER -
