Abstract: Remote SFA endarterectomy is a hybrid technique that affords lower limb revascularization without the
patient having to undergo a bypass operation especially when the vessels are small (women, Asian decent)
and the run off poor. The procedure allows for a larger calibre SFA lumen to be gained, which cannot be
obtained from a repeat endovascular procedure for in stent occlusion. Remote endarterectomy down to
infrageniculate level has not been previously reported. We describe a modified version of remote
endarterectomy with use of a subintimal wire to help remove an occluded SFA stent in the setting of a
calcified SFA. This hybrid technique is ideal for flush SFA occlusions.Keywords: Remote, superficial femoral artery, hybrid, endarterectomy
