AB  - Surgical  bypass  of  the  femoropopliteal  segment  is  reserved  for  patients  with  severe  claudication  or  impending  limb  loss  manifested  by  ischemic  rest  pain  or  tissue  necrosis.  Often  the  first-line  treatment  is  via  endovascular  techniques.  Typically,  such  patients  have  generalized  atherosclerosis  and  a  high  incidence  of  significant  coronary  artery  or  extracranial  carotid  artery  occlusive  disease.  Multiple  risk  factors—including  cigarette  smoking,  hypertension,  diabetes  mellitus,  and  hyperlipidemia—can  be  identified  in  the  majority.  Careful  selection  of  candidates  for  operation  is  of  utmost  importance,  weighing  the  expected  benefit  against  the  potential  risk.
