Introduction: One of the most frequent localizations of arterial occlusive diseases leading to the loss of the limb is the femoropopliteal segment. In the treatment of arterial lesions in the femoropopliteal segment, surgical methods of treatment (shunting and endovascular methods of treatment) are used in most cases. If it is not possible to conduct direct revascularization operations, this category of patients has a high risk of limb amputation at the hip level. In case of femoropopliteal occlusion, the viability of the limb depends entirely on the condition of the deep femoral artery. Thus, today, in case of impossibility of direct revascularization operations, the problem of choosing surgical instruments and optimal treatment of arterial lesions in the femoropopliteal segment remains unresolved.
