Drs. Saab and Nagarsheth provide commentary on the article The Tack-Optimized Balloon Angioplasty (TOBA) II Below-the-Knee Trial: 36-Month Results by Adams, et al. 

Dr. N'Dandu comments on the article Outcomes of Reintervention in Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization by Zaman et al. 

This review focuses on specific noninvasive diagnostic tools that aid in corroborating findings on history and physical examination and provide guidance for the optimal critical limb-threatening management strategy.     

The objective of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of subintimal implantation of interwoven nitinol stents in critical limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) patients with chronically occluded superficial superior artery and popliteal stents.

This manuscript reports the 36-month results of the Tack-Optimized Balloon Angioplasty (TOBA) II below-the-knee (BTK) study for repair of post-percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) dissection(s) of the infrapopliteal arteries.

This study was performed to describe the outcomes of reintervention procedures for a stenotic or occluded percutaneous deep venous arterialization (pDVA) and to compare outcomes following pDVA patients not requiring repeat intervention.
