Vascular surgical management of profunda femoris artery aneurysms: A single center experience

Successful treatment of a large profunda femoris artery aneurysm and associated pseudoaneurysm using endovascular stenting

Profunda femoris artery aneurysms are a rare form of peripheral arterial aneurysm. In this report, we present the case of an 83-year-old lady who was found to have a 65 mm aneurysm arising from the proximal left profunda femoris artery and associated pseudoaneurysm. Successful treatment was achieved using an endovascular approach in which two stents were deployed.

Balloon-Assisted Thrombin Injection of a Profunda Femoral Pseudoaneurysm Using Radial Access

The profunda femoral artery is an uncommon location for a pseudoaneurysm and is technically challenging to resolve with traditional techniques, such as ultrasound-guided compression or thrombin injection, owing to its deep anatomical location. Balloon-assisted thrombin injection (BATI) is a technique that has been shown to be effective using contralateral access for technically difficult pseudoaneurysms in high-risk surgical patients. We report a case of BATI using radial access in a patient with a profunda femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.

Spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of profunda femoris artery following a musculoskeletal sports injury

Pseudoaneurysms are relatively common entities encountered in clinical practice; however, pseudoaneurysms of the profunda femoris artery are rarely reported in literature. Due to the nonspecific presentation of pseudoaneurysms, diagnosis can be difficult and delayed. We report a case of a 14-year-old athlete diagnosed with spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of profunda femoris artery following a sports injury. Presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment, and complications are described.
