Femoropopliteal bypass is a surgical procedure used to treat peripheral artery disease (PAD) by bypassing blocked or narrowed femoral arteries, which are located in the thigh. This procedure restores blood flow to the knee and lower leg by using a graft to reroute blood flow around the blockage.

Femoropopliteal bypass is commonly performed in patients with severe PAD who experience symptoms such as leg pain, cramping, or ulcers. By improving circulation, this procedure helps prevent tissue damage, reduces pain, and enhances overall function of the lower extremities.
