Abstract

Femoral artery exposure can lead to local complications, which can compromise the postoperative course of effective arterial reconstruction. We report a new technique of vascular reconstruction in which a videoscopic approach to the femoral bifurcation is used. To our knowledge, the videoscopic approach to the femoral bifurcation has not been previously described. The main advantages of this technique include a limited cutaneous incision and avoidance of skinfolds, especially in obese patients.
