A Case of Lateral Approach to Deep Femoral Artery Aneurysm

A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of deep femoral artery aneurysm (DFAA), which had expanded in diameter from 30 mm to 40 mm within one year. Considering the possibility of a ruptured DFAA, we performed aneurysm resection with DFA revascularization. We could expose the...

Summary:A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of deep femoral artery aneurysm (DFAA), which had expanded in diameter from 30 mm to 40 mm within one year. Considering the possibility of a ruptured DFAA, we performed aneurysm resection with DFA revascularization. We could expose the neck of the deep femoral artery by the medial approach, but could not expose the distal neck. The lateral approach was used to expose the distal outflow, and graft interposition was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and computed tomography revealed a fully patent graft.
