Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Multiple deep femoral artery aneurysms with Loeys-Dietz syndrome

“…Regardless of the presence of LDS, DFAAs rarely develop and account for 0.5% to 2.6% of all femoral aneurysms. 7 , 9 , 13 In the present report, we have described the case of a patient with LDS and DFAA. To the best of our knowledge, no study has reported the association of DFAAs with LDS.…”

“…Previous studies have reported that DFA reconstruction might not always be necessary. 9 , 10 We performed DFA reconstruction to reduce the possibility of limb ischemia. We were also concerned about the occurrence of other new peripheral artery disease in the future, such as popliteal artery aneurysms, because of the LDS.…”

“…DFAAs can be treated surgically, including deep femoral replacement, ligation, and endovascular methods. 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 In the present report, we have described the case of a patient with extremely rare multiple DFAAs in association with LDS who was treated with arterial replacement. The patient provided written informed consent for the report of his case details and imaging studies.…”

Type A Acute Aortic Dissection Presenting With Arch and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

“…AAAD occurs in three to five out of every 100,000 individuals in the population per year, with a mortality rate of 1-2% per hour. In our current aging society, octogenarians are increasingly undergoing surgery for AAAD [ 1 , 2 ]. Furthermore, elderly patients often have more comorbidities and greater frailty.…”

Immunoglobulin G4-related solitary aneurysm of the deep femoral artery

“…1 , 2 The diagnosis can be difficult until the DFA has expanded, at which point the DFAA will have a high risk of rupture and thromboembolism. 3 …”
