- Abstract
Objective: To compare the outcome of endovascular profunda femoral artery revascularization (ePFR) with ePFR and concurrent endovascular femoropopliteal revascularization (eFPR). Methods: A retrospective review of the consecutive patients with PFA and femoropopliteal vaso-occulsive disease who underwent ePFR or ePFR þ eFPR for severe limb ischemia was performed. Results: A total of 18 ePFRs and 26 ePFR þ eFPRs were performed; 17 (94%) ePFRs and 22 (85%) ePFR þ eFPRs were technically successful. The 12-month survival free from amputation and reintervention rates following isolated ePFR were 78% and 72%, respectively, and following ePFR þ eFPR were 96% and 81%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the survival free from amputation (P ¼ .4) or reintervention (P ¼ .91) rates between the 2 groups. Conclusion: These contemporary data suggest isolated ePFRs and ePFR þ eFPRs are associated with good and comparable early limb salvage rates.
