Revascularisation of atheromatous occlusive lesions of the common femoral artery (CFA) currently involves open surgery. However, the local and general complications associated with this treatment are a major limitation of this revascularisation technique. The introduction of endovascular treatment as an alternative to conventional surgery offers potential benefits, although angioplasty alone has not produced satisfactory results in CFA endovascular treatment. The insertion of a stent seems to be a prognostic factor for improved clinical and morphological outcomes. Current research has suggested that stent placement in CFA lesions is a viable substitute to conventional surgery. Nevertheless, implanting a stent in the CFA may be restricted by the possibility of stent fracture because of the movability of the hip joint and mechanical limitations on the iliofemoral axis. The purpose of this study is to develop a numerical simulation for investigating the deformation of the iliofemoral segment and assessing the efficacy of endovascular treatment for the CFA.
