Bifurcated Dacron patch for simultaneous superficial femoroplasty and profundoplasty: a case report
INTRODUCTION: Common femoral endarterectomy and/or profundoplasty are procedures commonly performed on patients with functional or critical limb ischaemia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old Caucasian British man was referred to our unit with recent onset of severe left calf and thigh claudication and...

description | INTRODUCTION: Common femoral endarterectomy and/or profundoplasty are procedures commonly performed on patients with functional or critical limb ischaemia. CASE PRESENTATION: A 61-year-old Caucasian British man was referred to our unit with recent onset of severe left calf and thigh claudication and rest pain in his left foot. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed occlusive disease of the left common femoral artery, proximal superficial and profunda femoral arteries. These findings were confirmed intraoperatively and an endarterectomy was subsequently performed from the left common femoral onto the proximal superficial femoral artery and then onto the proximal profunda femoris artery. The arteriotomy was closed with a Dacron patch and its distal end was bisected into two to patch the profunda femoris and superficial femoral arteries. The patient made an uneventful recovery with a full clinical improvement of his left leg. CONCLUSION: A Dacron patch that was bisected distally to make a bifurcated patch for simultaneous patching of the profunda femoris artery and the superficial femoral artery was used to treat our patient's occlusions. This technique has not been previously described in the published literature and we have found it easy to do with little time added to conventional operation. |
