Introduction:

Ø Deep femoral artery aneurysms (DFAA) are very rare Ø Only 0,5% of all peripheral artery aneurysms ; 1-6% of all femoral artery aneurysms [1] Ø Often incidental finding ØSigns and symptoms include: a pulsatile mass in the groin, paralysis or pain [2] Ø High rate of rupture, justifying treatment

Case report

75 year old male Medical history: none Ascending aorta aneurysm > referred for cardiac surgery Incidental finding on physical exam: pulsatile mass in the groin; no subjective complaints Ø CT (Fig. 1): left-sided aneurysm, 50 mm; right-sided, 30 mm. Ø Ø Ø Ø

Treatment options

Fig 2. Bilateral deep femoral artery aneurysm

Ø Open surgery: Ø Ligation Ø Bypass grafting (interposition graft) Ø Endovascular treatment: Ø Covered stent Ø Coil embolization

Selected treatment:

Staged endovascular approach via contralateral access Ø Left: distal outflow had trombosed (Fig.2) Ø Distal coil embolisation (to prevent eventual future retrograde filling of the aneurysm) (Fig. A) Ø Proximal occlusion with Amplatzer II plug (Fig. B) (to exclude the aneurysm (Fig. C))

Discussion

Ø Multiple options for treatment, standard methods have not yet been established. Ø Reasonable recommendation for surgical intervention: all DFAA’s >2cm [3]. Ø We preferred an endovascular approach due to its minimal invasiveness. Ø Endovascular treatment options are directed by the patency of the distal vessels Ø 65% associated with synchronous aneurysms Ø Recommended to screen for popliteal and aortoiliac aneurysms

Ø Right: functional distal outflow (Fig. D) Ø Covered stent (8 x 57 mm, BeGraft®) (Fig. E) Ø Excluded aneurysm (Fig. E) Results:

Ø No complications Ø Post-operative CT : complete exclusion of both aneurysms
