Atherosclerotic aneurysm of the deep femoral artery.

A rare case of acutely thrombosed atherosclerotic aneurysm of the deep femoral artery is herein described. A review of the literature revealed 12 other reported cases of deep femoral aneurysm. However none were treated by resection and replacement using a human umbilical vein graft which was chosen in the present case because the autogenous saphenous vein was not available.

The behaviour of infected human umbilical vein arterial grafts.

Two patients who received Human Umbilical Vein (H.U.V.) femoropopliteal by-passes to revascularize ischemic limbs, and later underwent emergency operations for acute graft thrombosis, developed H.U.V. graft sepsis. The patients presented with haemorrhage, fever, pain and a growing mass at the site of the previous emergency procedure, one and five months later. An attempt at limited H.U.V. segment substitution (case 1) failed. We then performed successful complete graft excisions combined with extra-anatomical H.U.V. revascularization. At present both patients are asymptomatic with well-functioning H.U.V. grafts, 7 and 13 months later. In both cases Light and Scanning Electron Microscopic studies were performed. Findings of these studies have been analyzed.
