Özet
Herein, we present a successful surgical treatment of a 64-year-old male patient with critical ischemia due to atherosclerotic occlusion of the popliteotibial segment. Conventional angiography revealed total popliteal occlusion without distal run-off. Repeated computed tomography angiography showed poor distal flow of the anterior tibial artery and peroneal artery and proximal severe stenosis of the posterior tibial artery. Popliteodistal bypass using a reversed great saphenous vein was performed with antibiotherapy for limb salvage. We present this case for its rarity and difficulty in decision-making.
