Abstract
We present a case of a 60-year-old man with claudication in his right foot; the patient had received stent-graft implantation for the right superficial femoral artery (SFA) 1 year ago. Computed tomography angiography suggested stent occlusion of the right SFA, and a thrombus was considered to cause occlusion. To avoid distal embolization, we performed lesion recanalization via a trans-ankle intervention. First, we performed aspiration for the lesion; however, the thrombus persisted. Second, we performed the "Super Grab a Clot and Hold ON" technique and removed several thrombi. Finally, we used drug-coated balloons as a final device for the lesion. Two years later, the right SFA was found open upon an ultrasonography.
