title: Anomalous high bifurcation of the common femoral artery at the groin: management of GSV incompetence with endovenous laser ablation.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss safety of EVLA in anomalies of the GSV anatomy. To review and discuss complications of surgery involving anomalous anatomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of high bifurcation of the common femoral artery wrapping around the saphenofemoral junction.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Successful ablation was achieved with no adverse consequences.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  EVLA is a safe treatment for SFJ/GSV incompetence in the presence of vascular anomalies that have historically resulted in serious vascular complications from surgery.
