Purpose: To describe advanced retrograde access (transmetatarsal or transplantar arch) for endovascular treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) and foot salvage.Methods: From September 2011 to March 2012,28 CLI patients (24 men; mean age 71.9 +/- 10.6 years) being treated for foot salvage had failed antegrade recanalization, and percutaneous retrograde access at the pedal or plantar artery was unavailable. Advanced retrograde access techniques were required to recanalize the target vessel to restore blood flow to the compromised tissue. After local administration of verapamil to control spasm, the first dorsal metatarsal artery was preferentially accessed with a 21-G needle. When the first metatarsal artery was occluded and not fluoroscopically viewable, the plantar arch was punctured directly. After puncture, a 0.018- or 0.014-inch guidewire and microsheath were inserted for retrograde recanalization of the foot and tibial arteries with balloons sized to the target vessels.Results: Retrograde transmetatarsal artery access was performed in 25 cases and direct transplantar arch access in 3. Technical success (ability to deliver the balloon across the lesion and inflate it at nominal pressure) was achieved in 24 (86%) cases, with
