This is the first report of successful analgesia for CLI via a continuous popliteal catheter in a patient with rethrombosis and failed surgical revascularization. Based on our collaborative experience, we recommend the development of partnerships between the acute pain service and palliative care service to facilitate the early evaluation and decision to utilize regional anesthesia for treatment of CLI.
