Abstract
Control of proximal and back bleeding following an arteriotomy can be challenging when tibial or pedal vessels are noncompressible owing to calcification. We present two easy, inexpensive, and available solutions using a simple intravenous cannula to facilitate clamping of the distal vessels during below-knee revascularization.
