Figure 2

(A) The common femoral artery (arrow), the superficial femoral artery (dotted arrow), and the deep femoral artery (arrow head) are exposed and looped with sutures. (B) Note the size difference between the arteries and the 0.015 inch wire. (C) The wire is inserted via the deep femoral artery. Keep the wire inside for 1 min to have the arterial wall overstretched. (D) Blood flow is resumed. The common femoral artery is well-expanded after wire injury (arrow). Bar indicates 1 mm.
