Others have evaluated the efficacy of subintimal angioplasty in the infrageniculate vessels (80-82). They have shown that this technique can be successfully performed in 78 to 86% of attempted patients, with a 1-year patency ranging from 53 to 56% and limb salvage rates ranging from 81 to 94%. Importantly, technical failure does not preclude con-... 

Subintimal angioplasty is a technically difficult procedure with a long learning curve. Results are inferior to surgical bypass, and this technique is not widely performed in the United States. Nonetheless, it does represent yet another option for limb salvage in the management of select patients with severe lower extremity occlusive disease.
