Abstract
We report a case of chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to occlusive tibial artery disease that we treated with an excimer laser with good clinical results. The current status of laser technology in the treatment of infrainguinal arterial disease is reviewed, and our approach to the use of this device in these challenging patients is presented. Data that indicate the value of this modality in the treatment of patients with CLI are discussed.Entities:
