was no need for fasciotomy. In this patient, atrial fibrillation was the obvious cause of
emboli. Patient should have anticoagulation with either warfarin or non-vitamin K
antagonist oral anticoagulants or novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) long term to
prevent recurrent emboli.

angiogram showed the pre-operative images, results after PTA alone, and final angio-
gram with the balloon expandable stent deployed.
