Mastering Endovascular Techniques Chapter 10 The Specificities of the Common Femoral Artery Anatomy, Calcification and Treatment This video explores the evolving landscape of treating common femoral artery (CFA) disease, transitioning from traditional open surgery to modern percutaneous endovascular interventions. It highlights how the CFA was historically a "no stent zone" due to its unique anatomy and high concentration of complex calcifications, including bone-like osteoid metaplasia that resists standard treatment. To address these challenges, the authors detail various vessel preparation techniques - such as atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy - alongside sophisticated bifurcation stenting strategies like the "Tour Eiffel" and "kissing stent" methods. Ultimately, the paper demonstrates that while the vessel's strategic location requires specialised helical interwoven nitinol stents to withstand mechanical stress, endovascular options now offer a safe and effective alternative with lower initial morbidity than conventional surgery.
