Percutaneous intentional extraluminal revascularization is a percutaneous technique used in interventional radiology for limb salvage in patients with lower limb ischemia due to long superficial femoral artery occlusions. This method is intended for those patients who make poor candidates for infrainguinal arterial bypass surgery.^[1] A guide wire^[2] is intentionally introduced in the subintimal space, after which balloon dilatation is performed to create a new lumen for the blood to flow through.^[3] The technique is not without complications but may serve as a "temporary bypass" to provide wound healing and limb salvage.^[4]
