Redo groins, radiation injury, prior infection, and failed bypasses make common femoral artery disease some of the most difficult decisions in vascular care.
In this case-based discussion, Dr. Nick Mouawad and Dr. Sameh Sayfo walk through two challenging common femoral artery cases where traditional open surgery carried high risk.
Topics covered include:
• Managing CFA bifurcation disease after prior radiation and surgical complications
• Why the profunda femoris artery must always be protected
• Radial-to-peripheral access to avoid hostile groins
• Intravascular imaging to guide vessel sizing and therapy
• When to use IVL, atherectomy, serration balloons, and DCB
• Avoiding stents in the common femoral whenever possible
• Multidisciplinary decision-making for durable outcomes
A practical, honest discussion focused on patient selection, technique, and long-term durability in modern peripheral intervention.
