Abstract/OtherAbstract:
INTRODUCTION: Kissing balloon technique with two low-profile catheters (KBT) could be the treatment of choice for diseased infrapopliteal artery bifurcation in critical limb ischemia (CLI). REPORT: From April to December 2006, 8 patients with CLI and tibial artery disease located in the infrapopliteal bifurcation were treated with KBT. Technical success was achieved in all patients without major or minor complications. DISCUSSION: Angioplasty of the bifurcation of the popliteal and tibio-peroneal trunk using KBT is a safe and effective procedure in CLI.
