Abstract

Femoral endarterectomy is an established procedure with excellent outcomes. Variations in performing this operation generally reflect the extension of pathology into the superficial and deep femoral arteries. For these instances, we developed a technique not previously described that enables continued flow to the superficial and deep femoral arteries and facilitates patch placement.
