Using Advanced Technology to
Treat Occluded Below-the-Knee Arteries
Introduction
Critical limb ischemia may lead to serious complications,
including amputation, especially in patients
with diabetes. The following case demonstrates how
technological advancements have facilitated an
endovascular approach in helping such patients.

Superior Mesenteric Artery Revascularization and
Retrograde Visualization
Until recent times, open surgical
repair was the primary treatment
mode for chronic mesenteric
ischemia (CMI); however, with the
advent of applying percutaneous
angioplasty and stenting techniques
to the mesenteric territories,
endovascular intervention has
offered an alternative management
strategy that is appealing in the significant
subset of patients for whom,
because of comorbidities, open surgery
poses significant risk.

Q&A:Benefits of Cryoplasty® Therapy

Dr. Zvonimir Krajcer is a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine and at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. Dr. Krajcer has pioneered a technique of non-surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms with stent grafts. His special area of interest is non-surgical treatment of peripheral vascular disease with stents and stent grafts.
