This systematic review and meta-analysis compared perioperative and long-term outcomes of endovascular therapy (EVT) and open surgery (OS). Methods: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched through 15 March 2026 for comparative studies of EVT versus OS in CFA atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Outcomes included perioperative morbidity, wound complications, hospital stay, patency, reintervention, major amputation, and survival. Time-to-event data were pooled as hazard ratios (HRs), reported or reconstructed from Kaplan-Meier curves. Risk of bias and evidence certainty were assessed. Results: Eleven studies with 2835 patients were included. Compared with OS, EVT reduced 30-day morbidity (OR, 0.34; 95% CI: 0.26\u20130.44), wound complications (OR, 0.14; 95% CI: 0.09\u20130.23), surgical-site infections, lymphatic complications, myocardial infarction, and hospital stay (mean difference, \u22124.68 days; 95% CI: \u22125.49 to \u22123.86). Distal embolization increased after EVT (OR, 2.45; 95% CI: 1.28\u20134.70). Follow-up major amputation was higher after EVT in event-rate analyses (OR, 2.42; 95% CI: 1.19\u20134.93), although amputation-free survival was similar (HR, 1.01; 95% CI: 0.83\u20131.23). EVT had higher hazards of loss of primary patency (HR, 1.72), loss of secondary patency (HR, 2.03), and reintervention (HR, 1.51). Conclusions: EVT offers fewer early complications and shorter hospitalization, whereas OS provides more durable patency and fewer reinterventions. Given observational, heterogeneous evidence, treatment should be individualized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15145353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,8]],"date-time":"2026-07-08T17:27:31Z","timestamp":1783531651000},"page":"5353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Endovascular Therapy Versus Open Surgery for Common Femoral Artery Atherosclerotic Occlusive Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Chuwen","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiyuan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Management Centre, West China Fourth Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lijia","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hankui","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiyang","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of General Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3538","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehae179","article-title":"2024 ESC Guidelines for the management of peripheral arterial and aortic diseases","volume":"45","author":"Mazzolai","year":"2024","journal-title":"Eur.
