Remote endarterectomy is a less invasive technique compared with supragenicular bypass surgery for superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusive disease. Early restenosis remains one of the drawbacks of this procedure. To prevent restenosis following remote endarterectomy, concomitant cryoplasty of the desobstruct SFA was introduced.
