Patient with failed bypass graft, worsening rest pain, referred for complex multilevel revasacularization. Left femoral artery totally occluded with multiple collaterals supplying tibial arteries. Successful complete revascularization via pedal and antegrade access. Kudos to my awesome team Florida Cardiology, P.A.

Chronic venous insufficiency is one of the most under treated disease. It can be debilitating and needs close attention and meticulous care

This report focuses on CVD epidemiology, prevalence, incidence and the percent progression to more severe disease. The primary purpose of this research is to estimate the number of U.S. adults with CVD, the number with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and the number in each of the C1-C6 CEAP class...

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions; however, despite having various treatment options, our healthcare system and multiple insurance carriers hinder interventions that could improve patient outcomes.

67-year-old female with severe ischemia, tissue loss, and amputation of the 1st and 2nd toe, underwent multiple angiograms at hospitals and was informed of no revascularization options, with below-knee amputation recommended if foot fails to heal or continues to experience ischemic pain. Patient presented with 100% blockages in distal posterior tibial and anterior tibial arteries, with significantly compromised pedal flow. Following complete revascularization of distal tibial vessels and pedal circulation, the foot exhibited warmth and bounding pulses, resulting in another successful limb salvage outcome.

Venous stents in iliac veins are done for severe external iliac vein compression -NIVL or thrombotic occlusion of iliac veins. Unfortunately indiscriminate stenting can cause unnecessary complications. This patient had Wall Stent placed in right common iliac to common femoral vein in 2017 and had relining with a Bard Venovo stent in 2022. Patient had recurrent DVT in right femoral vein with severe edema and pain of right leg. We were able to do difficult endovenous recanalization from popliteal venous access, followed by Intravascular guided thrombectomy with Aspirex device, venoplasty. Patient had distal end of wall stent which was not covered and was compressed. Another venovo stent had to be deployed extending into CFV below the inguinal ligament, preserving the deep femoral vein confluence .. patient had immediate improvement in her symptoms

Stents are sometimes needed and we deploy them judiciosuly ensuring that we dont jeopardize future surgical optipns, potential flow to tibial arteries below the knee. Here is an expample of Extensive stenting to SFA and popliteal artery jeopardizing all potential fem-pop bypass, and increasing the risk of tibial occlusionions done at another facility. Usually we don’t like to place stents in distal popliteal artery which is safe zone for potential bypass. This patient had three overlapping stents and in the area behind the knee had three layers of stents done!!! Presented with acute on chronic limb ischemia, foot ulcers after prolonged hospital/rehab course due to knee cap fracture. We were able to open the occluded vessel today from accessing the artery in the ankle, using intravascular ultrasound guided atherectomy with and drug eluting balloon. Florida Cardiology, P.A.
