case_images: Computed tomography (CT) angiography suggested stent occlusion of the right SFA, and all below-the-knee arteries were patent; a procedure for lesion recanalization was scheduled (Figure 1(a)). We used 6 mm drug-coated balloons for the lesion as a final device without stent deployment and procedural complications (Figure 1(b)).
case_images: Steps to use the "Super GACHON" technique. (a) Constructing a handmade manual thrombus removal device. (b) Pulling out one-half of the Supera stent and the entire guiding catheter back from the proximal superficial femoral artery. (c, d) A large amount of thrombus is attached to the Supera stent; it has been removed from the body. GACHON: Grab a Clot and Hold ON.

case_images: The guidewire was placed inside the Mach1 guiding catheter (Figure 2(a)). Next, the guiding catheter with the Supera stent was advanced to the proximal site of occlusion without a guidewire (Figure 2(b)). With one-half of the Supera stent exposed, the guiding catheter was pulled back, and a clot was grabbed (Figure 2(c)). In this case, we used the handmade manual thrombus removal device five times and removed numerous thrombi (Figure 2(d)).
