Embolization of Deep Femoral Artery Aneurysm with a Ligated Proximal Artery Using the Direct Percutaneous Puncture Technique

抄録

We report a case of a deep femoral artery aneurysm with a ligated proximal artery that was successfully managed with endovascular therapy. An 84-year-old male was referred to our institute with a history of surgical resection of a left ruptured deep femoral artery aneurysm wherein another aneurysm was found on the peripheral side. Proximal artery ligation of the peripheral lesion was performed. The residual aneurysm had gradually enlarged after surgery, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed contrast effects in the aneurysm that extended to the distal artery. The aneurysm was successfully treated by direct percutaneous puncture embolization with N-butyl-cyanoacrylate.
