Multiple deep femoral artery aneurysms with Loeys-Dietz syndrome

A 60-year-old man with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) underwent surgery for multiple left deep femoral artery aneurysms (DFAAs). An intraoperative graft replacement was performed from the common femoral artery to the distal DFAAs; the superficial femoral artery was sutured to the graft. DFAAs in associa...

Sumario:A 60-year-old man with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) underwent surgery for multiple left deep femoral artery aneurysms (DFAAs). An intraoperative graft replacement was performed from the common femoral artery to the distal DFAAs; the superficial femoral artery was sutured to the graft. DFAAs in association with LDS and the occurrence of multiple DFAAs are rare. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have reported their coexistence. Graft replacement was decided as the optimal treatment for our patient. However, treatment should be considered on a patient-by-patient basis. Therefore, a lower limb arterial examination should accompany the screening of patients with LDS.
