Popliteal Block for Lower Limb Angioplasty
Sponsor: Mahidol University
Summary
Endovascular revascularization is an effective procedure in treatment of chronic critical limb ischemia. The less invasive procedure in high risk patients produce the benefit to the patients. However, some of the patients cannot tolerate local anaesthesia. These patients need sedation or even general anaesthesia, which increase unnecessary risk to the patients. This study is conducted to evaluate the benefit of popliteal sciatic nerve block or popliteal block compare to sedation in critical limb patients undergoing angioplasty.

Interventions
Popliteal block
Sciatic nerve block at popliteal fossa would perform before the participant undergoing angioplasty in experimental arm.
