The viperwire guide wire was positioned with the tip in the tibioperoneal trunk during treatment of a lesion in the superior femoral artery; the placement was distal to allow for use of a non-csi filter.A small perforation in the peroneal artery was seen on imaging following successful treatment of the lesion and subsequent filter retrieval.The physician determined that no treatment was necessary for the perforation due to its small size.The procedure was completed, and compression was not applied to the area.Later in the same day, the patient was transferred to another facility due to compartment syndrome in the lower extremity.As of 7 april 2021, the patient was well.
