Summary

The femoro-popliteal arterial segment is one of the most frequent locations for atherosclerosis. Its management is mainly endovascular (standard and coated-balloon angioplasty, stenting). However, the structural features of the atherosclerotic disease in regards to patient's risk factors and past medical and surgical histories are not well studied. Furthermore, the histological analysis of the femoro-popliteal arterial segment is rare in the literature, and made difficult mostly because of the length of this segment. There is a clinical need for better understanding of atherosclerotic lesions in this location, with as further goal, a better management of this disease.
