The management of peripheral artery disease with no revascularization options can be challenging due to the very limited treatment options available and the high rate of major amputation which is linked to increased mortality and poor quality of life. Using a distal venous bed as an alternative bypass runoff seems to be a viable option when arterial reconstruction is not feasible. We report our experience with distal venous arterialization for limb salvage in non-reconstructable critical limb ischemia and describe the configuration used to achieve venosome directed revascularization in a patient with concomitant varicose veins.
