Target Balloon-Assisted Antegrade and Retrograde Approach for Recanalization of Thrombosed Fem-Pop Bypass Graft Using the Outback Catheter

The subintimal arterial flossing with antegrade-retrograde intervention (SAFARI) technique is reportedly effective in severe peripheral vascular disease that cannot be treated with standard endovascular techniques including subintimal angioplasty. In this report, we used a target balloon with the Outback catheter to recanalize a thrombosed bypass graft that could not be treated successfully with SAFARI.
