[Bandage of the common femoral artery after intervention of disobliteration or aneurysmectomy (considerations on surgical technic apropos of 4 cases)]

The Authors refer their surgical experience in those particular cases in which, after performing an aneurysmectomy or an endarterectomy of common femoral artery, the residual arterial wall appears too thin and weakened. In these not very rare cases, can be indicated, as an additional and prudent manoeuver in order to avoid a possible evolution towards suture disruption or pseudoaneurysm formation, the wrapping or banding of the endarterectomized tract of artery by the mean of dacron prosthesis, sutured around the artery longitudinally. This simple technique, performed in 4 patients, appears easy and safe to perform, offering the advantage to guarantee a biological arterial lumen.
