Deep venous arterialization in the acute setting for embolic complication after endovascular procedure

Abstract

We report a case of a patient that developed acute limb ischemia secondary to atherectomy related embolization that was rescued with a deep venous arterialization (DVA) procedure. For patients with critical limb-threatening ischemia, deep vein arterialization is a viable and crucial intervention for non-surgical candidates who present with wounds or rest pain. This case report underscores DVA's efficacy in addressing severe presentations even in the case of acute ischemia.
