title: Lateral approach to the peroneal artery without resection of the fibula for lower limb revascularization.
abstract: The peroneal artery is an important outflow vessel for lower limb revascularization and limb salvage. This vessel is commonly reached using a medial, posterior, or lateral approach with resection of the fibula. We present a technique of lateral approach to the peroneal artery without fibular resection.
