Description:
<jats:p> A 73-year-old male with left critical limb ischemia was scheduled to undergo below-the-knee amputation. Prior to the amputation, he was referred to our institute for endovascular treatment. We inserted the new 7-Fr 150-cm-long guiding catheter, SlenGuide<jats:sup>®</jats:sup>, into the external iliac artery from the right radial artery with the 7-Fr Glidesheath Slender<jats:sup>®</jats:sup>. We implanted two R2P<jats:sup>®</jats:sup> Misago<jats:sup>®</jats:sup> stents with rapid-exchange, 200-cm-long shaft system in the stenosis of the left superficial femoral artery. This new stent system involves rapid-exchange and a long shaft system; furthermore, it is useful in transradial stenting in the superficial femoral artery. </jats:p>
