Endovascular Therapy for Critical Limb Ischemia Accompanied with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis: A Case Report

Abstract

The patient is a 72-year-old man. He showed critical limb ischemia with severe aortic valve stenosis. Although he required the surgical operation for this valvular disease, he could not have an operation because of the risk of infection to the prosthetic aortic valve. In this case, endovascular therapy for critical limb ischemia was preferentially performed and it was considered to have contributed to the prognosis directly.
