Profunda femoris artery aneurysms: association with aneurysmal disease and limb ischemia

Journal of Vascular Surgery

Abstract

Because there is a paucity of data about management and outcome of true profunda femoris artery aneurysms (PFAAs), we reviewed our 21-year experience with surgical repair of PFAAs. Clinical data from the 15 patients who underwent repair between 1985 and 2006 were retrospectively reviewed. Fifteen men had 17 PFAAs (mean diameter, of 3.4 cm). Three had an acute presentation with rupture (n = 2) or acute limb ischemia (n = 1), one had local tenderness, and 11 were asymptomatic. Sizes of the ruptured PFAAs were 1.5 and 7.5 cm. Eleven patients (73%) had synchronous aneurysms, most frequently in the popliteal artery (n = 7). Three of the asymptomatic patients required an emergency operation because of acute lower extremity ischemia caused by thrombosis of a synchronous popliteal aneurysm (n = 2) or for a ruptured iliac aneurysm (n = 1). Aneurysmectomy with graft interposition between the common femoral and PFA was used in 15 repairs. Ligation alone was used for one aneurysm, and another was treated by partial aneurysmectomy with primary repair. There were no deaths, graft thrombosis, or limb loss at 30 days. At a mean follow-up of 28 months (range, 3 to 108 months), one patient required above knee amputation 2 years after aneurysm li...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
