Post-angioplasty                                       Post-

     and stenting                                           procedural

     of SFA and                                             radiograph
     above-knee                                             showing the

     popliteal artery.                                      interwoven

     Stenting is                                            nitinol stents.
     sometimes

     indicated after

     angioplasty if

     there is residual
     or recoil stenosis,

     or when there is

     flow-limiting
     arterial

     dissection after

     angioplasty.
     There was good

     radiological

     results with no
     stenosis on

     completion

     angiogram.




     With improved

     blood supply to

     the foot, this
     would help with

     healing of the

     foot after
     debridement or

     amputation.                                             Interwoven nitinol stents
                                                             conform well to the artery.
