Description
Mohmmed Margni and three co-authors report the first embolization for chronic plantar fasciitis done through the dorsalis pedis artery on the same side. Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, and most cases settle with conservative care. Resistant cases show abnormal new vessels and raised fascial blood flow, which embolization can target.
A 68 year old man with stubborn disease receives targeted embolization of hypervascular medial plantar branches with an imipenem cilastatin mixture. The procedure takes under 15 minutes with minimal blood loss and no complications. The foot artery route allows precise targeting and less radiation than the posterior tibial route, with fewer complications and faster recovery than femoral access.
