Excerpt

The superficial femoral artery (SFA) is a common site of involvement of peripheral atherosclerotic disease [1]. The lesions are typically long, and clinical presentation is diverse. Invasive methods of treatment (percutaneous or surgical revascularization) should be reserved for patients with lifestyle disabling claudication, ischemic rest pain or non-healing ischemic ulcers and gangrene [2] Patients with popliteal and below-knee occlusive disease often present with limb-threatening ischemia. They are usually elderly and have several comorbid conditions, such as diabetes and coronary artery disease, that increase the surgical risk. …
