Endovascular salvage of failed surgical bypasses has been scantly reported for treatment of infrainguinal occlusive disease. Although catheter-directed thrombolysis and/or mechanical thromboembolectomy have been the mainstay of endovascular salvage of previous bypass grafts, native vessel recanalization remains seldom attempted. Herein, we present a unique approach to native vessel recanalization of a chronically thrombosed popliteal artery aneurysm for nonhealing distal ulceration.
