pseudo-aneurysm of the femoral artery is the most common arterial complication in drug injecting abusers. scholars in vascular surgery have published debating statements regarding techniques of successful surgical management during last two decades. we present the results of simple arterial ligation in a series of 32 patients presenting with infected femoral pseudo-aneurysm. most of the patient...

Femoral artery is frequently accessed by radiologists and surgeons. Anatomical knowledge of the variations of femoral artery and its branches including profunda femoris, medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries is required to minimize complications and hence it is suggested for the clinicians planning surgery and intervention around the aforementioned vessels. Present study was undertaken...

The aim of this study was to find a proper method for improvement of ischemic condition in the rat hind limb and also to observe the efficacy of cell engraftment with alginate/gelatin three-dimensional scaffolds. Eighteen male Wistar rats weighing 200 to 250 g were randomly divided into three groups (n = 6) including a) ischemia group; in which femoral artery was removed after ligation at the d...

A Long Intact Plaque Extracted by Femoral Artery Endarterectomy

vascular injuries with acute or chronic arterial hemorrhage after femoral shaft fractures are a rare but a life-threatening complication. we observed a case of iatrogenic rupture of the profunda femoris artery after the internal fixation of a femoral shaft fracture. the pseudoaneurysm, presenting with painful expansile swelling and hemodynamic instability, together with the rupture was evident ...

this study was done on 30 intravenous drug abusers who had underwent femoral artery ligation within 2 years (2007-2009) in imam reza hospital of kermanshah have been enrolled. variables such as age, gender, hiv test, claudication, wound infection, skin ulcer, recurrence of the pseudo aneurysm and the rate of amputation were evaluated. among 27 studied cases, 18.51% developed surgical site infec...

The most common peripheral aneurysm affects popliteal artery (70% of all cases), and on the second place – 23% femoral artery is involved [2,5,6]. According to the Cutler and Darling’s classification, femoral artery aneurysms are two types: type 1: aneurysm involves common femoral artery (CFA) only, not the bifurcation; type 2: aneurysmal disease of the bifurcation, the commencement of the prof...

Introduction The anatomy of the vessels of lower limb has long received attention from various scientists and author. The femoral artery enters the thigh at a point midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis. Here it lies on the psoas major tendon, which separates the artery from capsule of the hip joint. This is the position where its pulsation can be felt and whe...

Shear rate is significantly lower in the superficial femoral compared with the brachial artery in the supine posture. The relative shear rates in these arteries of subjects in the upright posture (seated and/or standing) are unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to test the hypothesis that upright posture (seated and/or standing) would produce greater shear rates in the superficial fem...
