Abstract
Retrograde pedal access is performed for difficult to cross arterial lesions. In conjunction with traditional brachial/femoral antegrade access, it can be used for the “body floss” technique. This chapter describes indications, essential steps, and complications of these procedures. It provides a detailed template operative note for the procedure.
