Abstract
Transpedal arterial access is a useful but challenging technique for patients with tibioperoneal occlusions. It is associated with a long learning curve, requires the administration of a large amount of contrast media, and exposes patients and interventionists to additional radiation. Here we present a new technique by which it is easier and faster to create a transpedal arterial access.
