Successful extreme foot revascularization with plaque cracking (percutaneous direct needle puncture of calcified plaque) technique of medial tarsal artery.

ABSTRACT: The percutaneous direct needle puncture of calcified plaque technique is a valuable method to allow for extreme revascularization of occluded below-the-ankle vessels. We report the case of an antegrade recanalization technique from the peroneal artery to medial plantar artery to achieve external "cracking" of a calcified plaque of the medial tarsal artery.
