Hypoplastic superficial femoral artery combined with connection of the deep femoral artery to the popliteal artery
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common anatomical variation of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is hypoplasia or aplasia associated with a persistent sciatic artery. We report a case exhibiting SFA hypoplasia combined with connection of the deep femoral artery (DFA) to the popliteal artery (in other words, the DFA became the popliteal artery). A 41-year-old man was admitted with a crush injury of the left foot. Computed tomography angiography revealed an SFA branched off the anteromedial side of the common femoral artery and exhibited severe hypoplasia and the DFA branched off the posterolateral side of the CFA and continued to become the popliteal artery.

The persistence of the sciatic artery.
The persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare anatomical variant where the internal iliac artery and the axial artery of the embryo provide the major supply of the lower limb, the superficial femoral artery being usually poorly developed or absent. We describe an extremely large right PSA in a 79-year-old male cadaver during a medical gross anatomy course, with simultaneous existence of a hypop...
متن کاملA Case Report of Ruptured Superficial Femoral Artery Aneurysm
Single superficial femoral artery (SFA) aneurysm is rare and occurs in approximately 5 per 100,000 patients. Rupture is a rare complication in this aneurysm. In this case report, we present the diagnostic and therapeutic work up of a ruptured SFA aneurysm of the right lower limb in a 75-year-old diabetic man with ischemic heart disease. Pre-surgical diagnosis was through physical examination fi...
متن کاملA case of persistent sciatic artery aneurysm accompanied by a persistent sciatic vein.
A persistent sciatic artery is a rare anomaly. On the other hand, a persistent sciatic vein is frequently associated with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. In a 71-year-old female with a complete-type persistent sciatic artery aneurysm, we performed aneurysmectomy and right femoropopliteal bypass surgery. The right popliteal vein drained into the femoral vein via a lower-type persistent sciatic vein ...
متن کاملTransposition of the persistent sciatic artery for lower limb revascularization after resection of an embolizing proximal sciatic artery aneurysm
We present a novel surgical technique for lower limb revascularization after resection of an aneurysm of the persistent sciatic artery that had led to recurrent peripheral embolization and severe ischemia. The superficial femoral artery in this patient was hypoplastic, and the sciatic artery continued into the popliteal artery as the source of blood supply to the lower leg. For revascularizatio...
متن کاملRuptured Тrue Aneurysm of Right Superficial Femoral Artery
The most common peripheral aneurysm affects popliteal artery (70% of all cases), and on the second place – 23% femoral artery is involved [2,5,6]. According to the Cutler and Darling’s classification, femoral artery aneurysms are two types: type 1: aneurysm involves common femoral artery (CFA) only, not the bifurcation; type 2: aneurysmal disease of the bifurcation, the commencement of the prof...
