- Abstract:
- Endarterectomy of the common femoral artery typically involves patch plasty to prevent lumen narrowing from direct closure. Bovine pericardium provides an alternative to autologous patches won from great saphenous vein or occluded superficial femoral artery. It is expected to reduce operating time, obviate additional incisions, and preserve the great saphenous vein for future revascularization. However, few studies have compared the long-term success of different patch materials. This study investigates the impact of various patch materials on wound complications and the five-year outcome.
