✦ Synopsis
This case describes the first reported successful management of an infrapopliteal artery intimal dissection utilizing the Palrnaz-schatzm balloon expandable stent. Stent deployment relieved the compromised blood flow caused by the intimal flap which could not be corrected by prolonged balloon inflation or removed with directional atherectomy, and averted any emergency surgical procedure.
