pseudoaneurysms (psa) of deep femoral artery (dfa) have been reported following penetrating and blunt trauma to the thigh and orthopedic procedures of the proximal femur. we describe a case of pseudoaneurysm of dfa as a late complication of limb trauma which was confirmed by exploration in an urgent surgery. after two operations successful surgical repair was performed.

A young gentleman presented with a history of multiple pseudoaneurysms of the right carotid artery, left radial artery, right femoral artery as well as deep vein thrombosis involving the right femoral vein. A diagnosis of Behcet's disease was made on the basis of his history of recurrent oral and genital ulceration with characteristic eye lesion.

Introduction The femoral vein accompanies the femoral artery, beginning at the opening in adductor magnus as the continuation of the popliteal vein, and ending at the level of inguinal ligament, by becoming the external iliac vein. In the lower part of the adductor canal it is posterolateral to the femoral artery; in the upper part of the canal, and in the lower part of the femoral triangle, it...

BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease has been widely studied in cardiovascular research. However, patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) have worst outcomes compared to those with coronary artery disease. Therefore, pharmacological studies using femoral artery are highly relevant for a better understanding of the pathophysiologic responses of the PAD. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was t...

OBJECTIVE The optimal choice of the arterial inflow site during operations for type A aortic dissection is not clearly defined. The aim of the prospective study was to identify whether cannulation of the right axillary artery instead of the femoral artery may improve the results of surgery for acute type A aortic dissection. METHODS Seventy consecutive patients were operated on because of acu...

The inferior gluteal artery is described in standard anatomy textbooks as contributing to the blood supply of the hip through an anastomosis with the medial femoral circumflex artery. The site(s) of the anastomosis has not been described previously. We undertook an injection study to define the anastomotic connections between these two arteries and to determine whether the inferior gluteal arte...

Femoral arterial access is the most common method of vascular access for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention in the United States.1 It is an often underestimated but important aspect of the procedure, and is the single most frequent cause of complications during coronary angiography and intervention.2 Hyperlinked to this article is a video that shows a PVI procedure perf...
