During a dissection of the two femoral trigons in a female corpse, about 14 years old, we discovered on the right side, the deep artery of the thigh arising from the medial side of the femoral artery and passed in front of the femoral vein above the mouth of the great saphenous vein; on both sides, there was the presence of a collateral canal which communicated the external iliac vein with the femoral vein on the right, on the left, it communicated the external iliac vein with the quadricipital vein. The lower part of the femoral vein was duplicated on both sides, but on the right, there was an interconnecting channel between the two trunks of the duplication. Variations of the femoral vessels are very frequent and can be responsible for an incident during the practice of certain gestures at the level of the femoral trigon such as: catheterization of the femoral artery or vein, the treatment of femoral hernias. Key words: Deep thigh artery, collateral venous canal, external iliac vein, anatomic variations.

Abstract Background: Critical limb ischemia is considered the most severe form of peripheral artery disease. High morbidity and mortality rates are associated with this pathology due to poor economic management of complications. Case summary: A 68-year-old female patient underwent a routine Doppler ultrasound which revealed the obstruction of both the common and superficial right femoral arteries, as well as the right deep femoral artery. In this case, an iliofemoral bypass was performed using the right deep femoral artery as the outflow artery. Conclusion: Revascularization of the deep femoral artery has a reasonable chance of preserving the ischemic lower limb whenever the common and superficial femoral arteries suffer major atherosclerotic blockages.

Relative Shear

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 femoral compared with the brachial artery. To test this hypothesis, Doppler ultrasound was used to measure mean blood velocity (MBV) and diameter in the brachial and superficial femoral arteries of 21 healthy subjects after being in the supine, seated, and standing postures for 10 min. MBV was significantly higher in the brachial compared with the superficial femoral artery during upright postures. Superficial femoral artery diameter was significantly larger than brachial artery diameter. However, posture had no significant effect on either brachial or superficial femoral artery diameter. The calculated shear rate was significantly greater in the brachial (73 ± 5, 91 ± 11, and 97 ± 13 s−1) compared with the superficial femoral (53 ± 4, 39 ± 77, and 44 ± 5 s−1) artery in the supine, seated, and standing postures, respectively. Contrary to our hypothesis, our current findings indicate that mean shear rate is lower in the superficial femoral compared with the brachial artery in the supine, seated, and standing postures. These findings of lower shear rates in the superficial femoral artery may be one mechanism for the higher propensity for atherosclerosis in the arteries of the leg than of the arm.

Endothelium Derived Relaxing Factor

Chronic increases in blood flow caused by an arteriovenous fistula augment endothelium-dependent relaxations to acetylcholine. To determine whether endothelial muscarinic receptors are altered, concentration-response curves to acetylcholine were obtained in the presence of pirenzepine in fistula- and sham-operated canine femoral arteries. Pirenzepine inhibited the response to acetylcholine in both arteries. The pA2 (log Kb) for the antagonist was the same. A bioassay system was used to assess release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor. Rings of femoral artery (without endothelium) from unoperated dogs relaxed more when superfused with perfusate derived from endothelium of fistula-operated arteries during acetylcholine stimulation. Rings without endothelium of sham- and fistula-operated arteries relaxed to the same extent when superfused with perfusate derived from the endothelium of unoperated femoral arteries. These results suggest that augmented relaxations to acetylcholine in canine arteries where blood flow is chronically elevated do not result from changes in the subtype of endothelial muscarinic receptors or in the sensitivity of the underlying smooth muscle to endothelium-derived relaxing factor(s). They are likely due to increased release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor(s) on muscarinic activation.

The infection in vascular surgery is a nightmare of every vascular surgeon. There are numerous ways of treatment but neither one is definitive. We present the case of the patient with infectious limb following aortobifemoral reconstruction treated by partial graft extirpation and with re-implantation of the superficial femoral artery into deep femoral artery.

Abstract Background Currently, the success rate of EVT for treating CTO of the SFA is high; however, EVT is still found to be insufficient in treating CTOs with severely calcified lesions. Even if the guidewire crosses the lesion, the calcifications may still cause difficulties during stent expansion. Main text A 78-year-old male had been reported to have intermittent claudication with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the right superficial femoral artery (SFA). Angiography revealed severely calcified plaque (Angiographic calcium score: Group4a [1]) at the ostium of the SFA. Stenting posed a risk of underexpansion, causing the plaque to shift to the deep femoral artery. we decided to remove the calcified plaque using biopsy forceps. After removing the extended calcified plaque, the guidewire could cross easily, and the self-expandable stent was well dilated without causing the plaque to shift to the DFA. Conclusions Biopsy forceps may be used in some endovascular cases to remove severely calcified lesions. To ensure the safety of the patient, the physician must be adept at performing this technique before attempting it.
