Dissecting aneurysm of the femoral and popliteal arteries. 1984

M H Page, and G J Leslie, and C Thorburn

Dissecting aneurysms of peripheral arteries within the extremities are very rare. We report a case of dissection of the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries, in which the preoperative arteriography was diagnostic and surgical treatment was undertaken before the onset of severe ischaemia. It is recommended that the diagnosis of dissecting aneurysm of a major artery should be considered when limb ischaemia occurs in a younger patient.
