ABSTRACT
Open surgery is the gold standard for treating common and deep femoral arterial lesions. Nevertheless, significant data have emerged in recent years supporting an endovascular strategy for this peculiar anatomic region, despite certain disadvantages, including the requirement for strong compression resistance and excellent flexibility and conformability when stents are implanted. We present a case of critical limb ischemia due to total common and deep femoral arteries occlusion after endarterectomy that resulted in a very tapered lesion. It was successfully treated with percutaneous angioplasty and off-label application of an interwoven nitinol Roadsaver carotid artery stent, which demonstrated good adaptability.
