Posterior approach to the deep femoral artery

Unusual surgical approaches to the deep femoral artery are valuable when the standard anterior approach is difficult because of scarring or infection. A posterior approach to the deep femoral artery in patients, in whom all other approaches were unsuitable, is described. (J Vasc Surg 1999;29:741-4.)
