Abstract
The antegrade femoral approach is a routinely used technique for the percutaneous treatment of the lower extremities vascular disease. However, this approach can be challenging in case of obese patients or due to special anatomy of the femoral bifurcation. We present a simple and inexpensive alternative by means of the use of a Fogarty catheter to convert a retrograde femoral access to an antegrade catheterization.
