Das Aneurysma der Vena femoralis als Differentialdiagnose der Schenkelhernie

Abstract

Venous aneurysms are rare, especially those of the femoral vein. Groin hernias and femoral hernias are in contrast to this more frequent enteties. The literature includes only six cases of aneurysms of the femoral vein. We report on a 61-year-old patient who underwent an operation for femoral hernia. An aneurysm of the femoral vein was found intraoperatively and directly resected. The differential diagnosis of femoral hernias and the following diagnostic and therapeutic strategies are described.

Successful Wallstent exclusion of iliofemoral venous aneurysms—a new treatment paradigm

“… 4 , 5 , 6 However, significantly fewer aneurysms involving the femoral veins can be found in the literature. 1 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 Although venous aneurysms in the lower extremities result in the risk of pulmonary embolism, pelvic venous aneurysms have an additional risk of rupture. 1 , 2 , 4 This brings up the issue of treatment, which for venous aneurysms involving the iliac and femoral veins is generally open surgical repair, usually with tangential aneurysmectomy and lateral venorrhaphy or a variation.…”
