OBJECTIVES: To discuss safety of EVLA in anomalies of the GSV anatomy. To review and discuss complications of surgery involving anomalous anatomy. METHOD: We report a case of high bifurcation of the common femoral artery wrapping around the saphenofemoral junction. RESULTS: Successful ablation was achieved with no adverse consequences. CONCLUSION: EVLA is a safe treatment for SFJ/GSV incompetence in the presence of vascular anomalies that have historically resulted in serious vascular complications from surgery.
