Stent Implantation and Thromboendarterectomy for the Common Femoral Artery in Real-World Practice.

Thromboendarterectomy compared to stenting was the preferred revascularization strategy for patients with CFA disease in terms of primary patency and freedom from target lesion revascularization during the 1st year. The difference was attenuated in subgroups with advanced age (85 years or older) or chronic heart failure, thus stenting may be considered in patients with these backgrounds.
