It was reported that an embolism occurred, requiring additional intervention.The 100% stenosed target lesion was located in a moderately tortuous and severely calcified superficial femoral artery (sfa).A 1.6mm jetstream sc catheter was selected for use in the endovascular therapy procedure to treat the lower extremity arterial disease.The jetstream sc catheter was used along with a jetstream xc catheter to cut the lesion in the sfa eight times.Plain old balloon angioplasty and treatment with a drug-coated followed.On final imaging, it was noticed that plaque-like substance had embolized near the tibioperoneal trunk and a peripheral embolization occurred.Aspiration and a balloon dilation were performed to resolve the peripheral embolism.
