Abstract:
Introduction: Aneurysms of the deep femoral artery are rarely described in reports and represent a minor, 0.5% percentage of all aneurysms in peripheral arteries. Most commonly reported are false aneurysms. A report on stent-graft management of a giant true aneurysm of the deep femoral artery represents an important contribution to the discussion on this subject.
Case Description: A 72-year-old patient was admitted through the emergency channel due to pain and a pulsating tumor in the left groin. A CT angio scan showed a giant true aneurysm at the branching of the femoral artery. The aneurysm was managed endovascularly with a successful postoperative course.
Discussion: This paper represents a contribution to a discussion on therapeutic opportunities for the management of aneurysms of the deep femoral artery. The endovascular management appears to be an optimal solution, particularly in patients with a positive history of internal diseases.
