Background: Critical limb ischemia is considered the most severe form of peripheral artery disease. High morbidity and mortality rates are associated with this pathology due to poor economic management of complications. Case summary: A 68-year-old female patient underwent a routine Doppler ultrasound which revealed the obstruction of both the common and superficial right femoral arteries, as well as the right deep femoral artery. In this case, an iliofemoral bypass was performed using the right deep femoral artery as the outflow artery. Conclusion: Revascularization of the deep femoral artery has a reasonable chance of preserving the ischemic lower limb whenever the common and superficial femoral arteries suffer major atherosclerotic blockages.
