Impact of open femoral endarterectomy on treating multilevel iliac and common femoral artery occlusive disease.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of femoral endarterectomy (FE) on treating multilevel iliac and common femoral artery occlusive disease.

Materials and methods

From January 2013 to December 2022, 106 limbs in 103 patients with multilevel arterial occlusive disease underwent open FE and iliac angioplasty (FEIA) with or without infrainguinal revascularization. The primary outcome assessment was the changes in the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II classification during the operation; the secondary outcomes included the primary patency (PP) and secondary patency (SP) of FEIA. The risk factors for PP loss were evaluated.

Results

Of the 103 patients, 91 were male. A total of 56 limbs were treated for chronic limb-threatening ischemia, and 61 lim
