Common femoral artery atherosclerosis is a common cause of claudication and critical limb ischaemia. Surgical endarterectomy with or without patch angioplasty has been considered the gold standard for the treatment of common femoral peripheral artery disease. Endovascular intervention to the common femoral artery has gained popularity in recent years as devices and technical skills have advanced. A systematic review of the literature from 1987 to 2018 for endovascular treatment of common femoral artery disease was conducted. This article summarises the data on acute and long-term outcomes for endovascular treatment of common femoral artery disease.

Abstract Background Highly calcific stenosis located in common femoral artery (CFA) represents a difficult target for endovascular treatment due to the possible need for stent implantation in that area. Case summary A 63-year-old man with history of coronary artery disease and previous multiple percutaneous transluminal angioplasties for peripheral artery disease (PAD) was admitted for recent onset left lower limb pain at rest with severe activity restriction (Leriche-Fontaine Class III and Rutherford Class III–IV). The angio-computed tomography scan showed a highly calcific stenosis of left CFA. The patient underwent lithoplasty balloon angioplasty followed by drug-eluting balloon inflation with excellent angiographic result and complete blood flow restoration. No procedural complications occurred. Discussion Highly calcified stenosis in PAD represents a huge challenge for endovascular treatment as not all lower extremity arteries are suitable for stenting because of compressive and torsional forces associated with stent fracture and restenosis. Lithoplasty is a new technology allowing effective blood flow restoration while minimizing vessel injury.
