Title: The Surgical Treatment of Long Occlusions of the Superficial Femoral Artery: Initial Success and Long Term Results of Remote Endarterectomy Versus Suprageniculate Bypass Surgery
Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to compare remote superficial femoral artery endarterectomy with suprageniculate bypass surgery in the treatment of long occlusions of the superficial femoral artery. The study hypothesis is that patency rates are comparable and therefore the minimal invasive remote superficial femoral artery endarterectomy can be considered in patients presenting with a long occlusion of the superficial femoral artery.
