“…Research has been limited to registries and a small number of trials, which have not indicated a decrease in periprocedural complication rates over the past decades [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. The most frequent complications are still related to the incision site and include wound complications owing to infection, dehiscence, lymphatic leakages, haematoma, and neural dysaesthesia [ 9 , 12 , 13 ]. Different factors associated with local postoperative complications have been depicted, comprising advanced age, diabetes mellitus, obesity, open surgical revision, and the use of drains [ 5 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Occlusive lesions of the common femoral artery (CFA) and its bifurcation have traditionally been treated with open surgery. Although long-term patency rates after open surgery are excellent, such repairs are associated with substantial local and general morbidity. In recent years, different treatment options have emerged within percutaneous endovascular repair. We hereby present a narrative review on endovascular treatment modalities and a treatment algorithm for endovascular revascularisation of the CFA and its bifurcation. Lesion analysis, access issues, vessel preparation tools, and types of repairs with or without the involvement of the bifurcation are described. Based on current data, an interventional approach can result in high technical success and acceptable mid-term patency rates. Further comparative evidence with open surgery and/or between the different types of endovascular repairs is required to improve the current treatment algorithm.
