Answer- A - The statement that does not matches correctly with the site of peripheral thromboembolectomy and the surgical approach is femoral occlusions - bilateral ventricle groin incisions. For aortic or iliac occlusions, bilateral ventricle groin incisions followed by embolectomy balloon catheter approach is typically performed. The procedure can be performed on both legs once the initial clot is removed from the occlusion. For femoral and popliteal occlusions, incisions in the distal common femoral artery followed by embolectomy balloon catheter approach are typically performed.
