Ep. 448 Below the Ankle Expertise: Distal Pedal Access with Dr. Marta Lobato BackTable Vascular & Interventional
-
- Medicine
In this episode, Dr. Marta Lobato explores advanced endovascular techniques in below the knee (BTK) and below the ankle (BTA) interventions for critical limb ischemia (CLI). She introduces various skills that were developed and used by her team, such as the telescopic needle, buddy needle, balloon-assisted puncture, and vasodilation to prevent artery spasm. Dr. Lobato is a vascular surgeon at Hospital de Cruces in Barakaldo, Spain.
