Stenting is a highly effective procedure for patients with peripheral vascular diseases, but procedure-related complications can occur. The use of balloon-expandable stents has resulted in a spectrum of deployment-associated complications and new technical challenges for surgeons. This case describes a probably uncommon scenario, in which an undeployed balloon-expandable stent abruptly dislodged from the balloon catheter and stacked in an iliac bifurcation. The unexpanded stent was captured using a low-profile balloon and was then anchored at an alternate location. This situation was managed successfully without the need for an open retrieval procedure.

Determination of peripheral artery disease by using a simple automatic blood pressure device with ankle-brachial indexes (ABIs) was feasible for the doctors who couldn’t use Doppler method. 219 patients were examined at Cardiovascular Department, Hospital 108 and were measured ABIs. Results: The correlations between ABI in both methods were good in left legs (r=0.66,p<0.001) and in right legs (r=0.61, p<0.001). This method is inexpensive, easy to use, and can detect peripheral artery disease in early stage

Compartment syndrome is the term used to describe the constellation of clinical symptoms and signs associated with pathophysiologically elevated intracompartmental pressure. It is an infrequent but serious complication of the revascularization of peripheral arterial disease, encountered in surgical bypass and thrombolytic procedures. We present two cases of intraarterial thrombolysis and percutaneous transluminal intervention of the lower extremity arteries, complicated by the development of compartment syndrome.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is a non-artherosclerotic cause of claudication and acute ischemia of the legs in young athletic individuals. It is classified in terms of the abnormal anatomical relationship between the popliteal artery and surrounding structures. All types of PAES have the same pathophysiology. Repetitive arterial compression by surrounding structures causes progressive vascular injury. Bilateral PAES is reported in about 30% of cases. Bilateral PAES is usually of the same type in each artery; exceptions are rare. We report a case of a young athletic patient who suffered bilateral PAES of two different types.

Tingling Sensation on Hands and Feet is one of common sensory symptoms, which is frequently associated with not only peripheral nerve disorders, including polyneuropathies, entrapment neuropathies(carpal tunnel syndrome or tarsal tunnel syndrome) and radiculopathies, but also stroke or peripheral vascular diseases. Despite numerous conditions causing acroparesthesia, characteristic symptoms and signs of each category can afford to inform the critical differentiating clues like followings glove-stocking paresthesia in polyneuroapthy, dermatomal radiating paresthesia in radiculopathy, sensory level in myelopathy, and crossed paresthesia in brainstem lesion. In this review, diagnostic and therapeutic approach to acroparesthesia is schematically described. In addition, neuropathic pain, a special type of pain or unpleasant feeling caused by partial/complete denervation of sensory nervous systems, as one of common causes of acroparesthesia, will be discussed.

PURPOSE: The TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus offers the proper guidelines for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Many new devices and surgical techniques have been introduced to the medical field and these have been aggressively used to manage the patients with PAD. We performed this study to evaluate the current status of endovascular therapy based on the literature and we review the efficacy and safety of the new devices used in the field. METHODS: A search of the literature was performed in the PubMed and science websites. The keywords were "chronic total occlusions", "superficial femoral artery revascularization", "peripheral arterial disease" and "endovascular therapy". RESULTS: The variation of the results was large according to the studies. The rough technical success rate was 80~90% and the 1 year clinical success rate, the primary patency rate and the limb salvage rate for chronic total occlusions were approximately 50~70%, 50% and 80~90%. The efficacy and safety of the new devices used in the field were acceptable. CONCLUSION: Further refinement of the guidewires and sheaths and the development of adjunctive devices have allowed traversal of even the long lesions and this has increased the technical success. Although surgery remains the principal treatment for patients with lower limb ischemia, surgeons must now assess the benefits and risks associated with various treatment options, including endovascular therapy.
