Some challenges have been detected when there are long and complex lesions of femoropopliteal arterial occlusive disease, even with descriptions of retrograde pedal approaches. The aim of this paper is to describe retrograde proximal anterior tibial artery access for treatment of femoropopliteal segment occlusion when antegrade recanalization failed (retrograde recanalization and rearranging the system into an antegrade position). Technical and clinical success were achieved in 100% of four cases, with an improvement of at least two Rutherford classes. Minor complication, small hematoma in an anterior compartment of the limb, occurred in one patient. No sign of compartmental syndrome was observed.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 February 2016.
All research outputs
#24,847,726
of 34,517,649 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Vascular Surgery (Science Direct)
#2,206
of 3,071 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#222,975
of 336,627 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Vascular Surgery (Science Direct)
#17
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,517,649 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,071 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,627 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 63% of its contemporaries.
