Description
Surgical endarterectomy is still considered the gold standard for the treatment of common femoral artery (CFA) occlusive disease. The present study evaluated the outcomes of CFA endarterectomy with patch angioplasty using the superficial tributary vein (STV) of the great saphenous vein.This was a single-center, retrospective study. We reviewed our institutional data of consecutive patients who received elective CFA endarterectomy between January 2014 and December 2021.During the study period, CFA endarterectomy with STV patch angioplasty was performed in 49 limbs in 42 patients, including 33 limbs (67.3%) treated by hybrid procedure combining CFA endarterectomy with endovascular treatment. Technical success was achieved in 100% of subjects. The median ankle brachial pressure index improved from 0.57 (0.43-0.67) preoperatively to 0.96 (0.77-0.99) postoperatively (P 0.001). The 30-day mortality rate was 2.0% (n = 1). The overall 30-day complication rate was 6.1% (n = 3) and the local complication rate was 2.0% (n = 1). No aneurysmal dilatation or rupture of an STV patch was observed at a median follow-up of 22 months. The 1-year and 2-year primary patency rates were 97.4% and 97.4%, respectively.The efficacy and patency of CFA endarterectomy with STV patch angioplasty were similar to those of conventional CFA endarterectomy. STV patch angioplasty is a durable procedure and may improve the outcomes of CFA endarterectomy through a reduction in the risk of postoperative local complications by avoiding the use of a prosthetic patch and by preserving the main great saphenous vein.
