ABSTRACT
<p>A 69-year-old male complained of intermittent claudication of the right leg. Computed tomography revealed a right femoral artery stenosis with severe calcification and intimal thickening extending to the superficial and deep femoral arteries. Femoral endarterectomy and decalcification was carried out using the Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA). All arteries were repaired by an ePTFE Y-shaped patch. Postoperative CT showed no stenosis and progressive calcification of the common, superficial and deep femoral arteries 2 years after surgery.</p>
