MENDES, Daniel et al. Severe vascular calcification in peripheral arterial disease: is there a limit to revascularization?. []. , 14, 2, pp.71-74. ISSN 1646-706X.

Vascular calcification is associated with a worsening of the ischemia categories in patients with peripheral arterial disease independently and represents a huge challenge in both endovascular treatment and revascularization surgery. We present a case report of a patient with multiple cardiovascular risk factors and with risk factors for calcification (diabe­tes and chronic kidney disease), with critical ischemia, adequately treated with a popliteal-pedous bypass.
