ROSSI, Fabio Henrique et al. Acute femoropopliteal artery stent obstruction. J. vasc. bras. [online]. 2009, vol.8, n.3, pp. 267-270.  Epub 04-Set-2009. ISSN 1677-5449.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1677-54492009005000011.

Femoropopliteal stent obstruction may be responsible for acute lower limb ischemia. Fibrinolytic treatment may not be the best therapeutic approach in this group of patients. We report a clinical case in which stent fragmentation and endarterectomy enabled femoropopliteal below knee bypass and limb revascularization.
