Objective: Arteriosclerotic disease of the common femoral artery can be treated by surgical or endovascular intervention. Elderly patients are said to have a worse outcome if treated by surgical means; however, data to support this theory are missing. Methods: Retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent common femoral artery endarterectomy between March 2007 and July 2018 in our clinic. Group 1 included all patients <80 years and Group 2 included all patients > 80 years. Endpoints were patency rates, limb salvage, and overall survival. Results: During this time period, 977 common femoral artery endarterectomies were performed. Indication was claudication in 61.5% and critical limb ischemia in 38.5%. Group 1 included 805 cases (82.4%) and Group 2 included 172 cases (17.6%). Thirty-day mortality was 2.7% (Group 1 = 1.6% versus Group 2 = 7.6%; p < 0.001) and 30-day major amputation was 1.1% (Group 1 = 0.7% versus Group 2 = 2.9%; p = .043). Primary patency and secondary patency were 84.2% and 96.8%, respectively, after 7 years. Limb salvage (93.7%, Group 1 = 94.1% versus Group 2 = 91.8%; p = .088) and overall survival (52.0%, Group 1 = 59.1% versus Group 2 = 15.7%; p = .006) were significantly different after the same time period. Multivariable analysis showed female gender to be a risk factor for loss of primary patency. Age > 80 years and ulcer or gangrene were risk factors for death. Statin use was beneficial to survival. Conclusion: Common femoral artery endarterectomy is a safe procedure with excellent long-term results. Octogenarians have an increased risk for perioperative mortality and major amputation.
