While endovascular techniques have expanded the therapeutic landscape, such anatomically complex cases require tailored, multidisciplinary strategies to achieve successful limb salvage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the case of a 52-year-old male with type II diabetes mellitus, end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and a chronic non-healing DFU. Imaging revealed a CTO of the posterior tibial artery (PTA) and pedal\u2013plantar loop, significant stenosis of the dorsalis pedis artery (DPA), and a distal metatarsal artery pseudoaneurysm with an AVF. The patient underwent successful retrograde endovascular recanalization using the pedal\u2013plantar loop technique and flossing-wire method, followed by balloon angioplasty of the DPA and PTA. Coil embolization of the pseudoaneurysm and AVF was performed using a sandwich technique.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Outcome<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The patient experienced no peri-procedural complications. Perfusion parameters improved significantly, and complete wound healing was achieved during follow-up. No recurrence, re-intervention, or amputation occurred within 12\u00a0months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of a fully endovascular, hybrid approach for managing complex BTK occlusions combined with distal vascular lesions.
