Abstract

An incidental discovery was made of a right deep femoral artery aneurysm (DFAA) in a plain computed tomography (CT) scan of a 72-year-old male. Although he had been diagnosed with type B aortic dissection six years ago and was followed for 12 months in the outpatient clinic, the patient was no longer receiving regular checkups. After a thorough discussion between cardiovascular surgeons and interventional radiologists, it was decided to proceed with aneurysm resection and revascularization. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged home without complications.

Keywords: computed tomography; deep femoral artery aneurysm; lateral circumflex femoral artery; revascularization; saphenous vein.
