摘要
The evaluation of the extension of the atheromatous lesion is essential for the planning of the endovascular technique at the level of the femoral arterial bifurcation. Therefore, we changed the classification of Azema and applied it to a series of patients who had undergone open surgery of the femoral arterial bifurcation. This evaluation made it possible to have an idea of the distribution of atheromatous lesions in this region and to compare the efficiency of this modified classification of Azéma with others used in the literature. This modified classification of Azema is relevant and constitutes a decision-making tool for the endovascular therapeutic indications of femoral arterial bifurcation.
