Abstract
Profundoplasty is a durable, safe, and effective procedure in terms of clinical and hemodynamic results for patients characterized by occlusion of SFA and stenosis of CFA extended to profunda ostium. For patients with Rutherford category 5 and 6 ischemia, the only profundoplasty does not seem to be adequate, and concomitant distal bypass should be necessary to improve limb salvage and decrease reintervention rate.
