Methods: Between September 2008 and September 2010, 24 patients underwent a transpopliteal retrograde subintimal recanalization. Instead of its usage when antegrade recanalization failed, the \u201cfacedown\u201d technique was preferred as a first choice in patients with common femoral artery stenosis or occlusion, proximal lesions of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) with no stump, severe obesity, tandem iliac, and SFA lesions. Results: Technical success was achieved in 91.7% of patients.The complication rate was 12.5%. The primary patency at 6, 12, and 18 months was 86.4%, 65.8%, and 65.8%, respectively. Conclusions: The retrograde popliteal artery approach can be considered as the primary SFA recanalization strategy in carefully selected patients, with competitive immediate and midterm results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1538574411414308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,23]],"date-time":"2011-08-23T21:11:16Z","timestamp":1314133876000},"page":"646-650","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Retrograde Transpopliteal Approach of Iliofemoral Lesions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Elias N.","family":"Brountzos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Athens University Medical School, Attikon University Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Konstantinos G.","family":"Moulakakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, Athens University Medical School, Attikon University Hospital, Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Efthimios","family":"D.
