the right-sided distal popliteal artery to the anterior tibial artery and the tibial–peroneal trunk (Fig. 1). A small particle extracted by limb thrombectomy was identified as BioGlue® (Fig. 2).
Figure 1: Multidetector computed tomography showed the right-sided limb artery occlusion from the distal popliteal artery to the anterior tibial artery and the tibial–peroneal trunk.
Figure 2: BioGlue® fragments extracted by right-sided lower limb arterial thrombectomy.
