A case of occluded femoropopliteal saphenous vein bypass with threatening limb ischemia treated with endovascular stent graft relining

Abstract A 61-year-old man presented with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) due to reocclusion of a femoropopliteal (FP) bypass using saphenous vein graft (SVG). After performing endovascular intervention using plain angioplasty, drug coated balloon and drug-eluting stent implantation of the proximal anastomosis of FP bypass, refractory early reocclusion occurred during the perioperative period and we then decided to alternatively place a stent-graft in the occluded FP bypass. After the SVG was dilated using high-pressure balloon, a stent-graft was successfully placed. This alternative therapy using a stent-graft prevented SVG FP bypass reocclusion, and the patient's ulcers completely healed within a month.
