Remote Endarterectomy (RE) is a less invasive alternative for revascularization of the lower extremity.

The goal of RE is to use and maintain the native artery for as long as possible, thus postponing the need for bypass. RE also helps to open and maintain large arterial side branches and collaterals upon removal of atheroma core. Patient benefits include preservation of the saphenous vein for future use. Decreased incisions allow for faster healing and fewer days spent in the hospital.

LeMaitre Vascular provides tools to assist in the recanalization of the long segment occlusions in the iliac artery, superficial femoral artery, and proximal popliteal artery. RE requires the use if both surgical and endovascular techniques.
