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.
