title: [Medial approach to the distal deep femoral artery].
abstract: By placing the thigh in external flexion-rotation the deep femoral artery can readily be approached downstream the first perforating artery. The medial route respects the inguinal lymph nodes, approximately follows the internal saphenous vein axis, provides wide exposure of the artery and offers a wide range of courses for different bypasses.
