Clinical review reveals favorable surgical outcomes in common femoral artery bifurcation occlusion, suggesting eversion endarterectomy is an effective alternative when grafts are unavailable.
Common femoral artery (CFA) bifurcation is a critical arterial segment of the lower extremities. Dos Santos J.C. first described endarterectomy from CFA in 1946. It is still preferable method for many patients with occlusion of CFA bifurcation. Although this technique is common in carotid artery surgery and much less common for atherosclerotic lesion of CFA bifurcation, some authors describe favorable results after eversion endarterectomy. Eversion endarterectomy is preferable if synthetic material and autologous veins are unavailable for repair.
