Abstract

Background. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a clinical manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite the novel treatment modalities for endovascular revascularization, the optimal treatment strategy remains challenging. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) is an imaging modality that offers a detailed visualization of the blood vessel wall microstructure. The Pantheris device (Avinger), an integrated version of IV-OCT in a directional atherectomy device, has been used for the revascularization of lower extremity occlusions. We present a 73-year-old patient with chronic total occlusion of the axillary artery with successful revascularization using the Pantheris device, for the first time in the literature.
