Abstract
The evaluation of calcifications of the femoral bifurcation has never been studied. Therefore, the development of endovascular surgery of this bifurcation and the impact of these calcifications on the success of procedures at this level, it becomes essential to find a way to evaluate this lesion. A CT scan using the Endosize image processing software on 83 patients treated for atherosclerotic lesions of the femoral tripod evaluated the calcifications according to the PARC (peripheral arterial research consortium) score. We found that ¾ of femoral tripods have severe calcium scores. These results explain the early failures of endovascular procedures and encourage us to plan better this technique in this region
