The profunda femoris artery is normally accompanied by a profunda femoris vein (deep femoral vein), which begins at the adductor magnus with various tributaries and drains into the femoral vein at the femoral triangle. Very rarely, the profunda femoris vein establishes communication with the popliteal vein. We present an anomalous profunda femoris vein in a 62-year-old male cadaver whose vein was located in the popliteal fossa as a direct communicating channel between the popliteal vein and the femoral vein.

Background: Autologous breast reconstruction patients require thorough assessment, with the profunda femoris artery perforator (PAP) flap having become an important autologous reconstruction option alongside the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Breast reconstruction impacts patients psychologically, physically and mentally. The BREAST-Q aids in the assessment of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Background: The lower limb venous system, a subject of extensive study due to its high clinical significance on deep vein thrombosis, presents a rare, intriguing, symmetrical variant in this dissection report.
Case Report: We present the uncommon and clinically meaningful bilateral persistent sciatic vein (PSV) variant. The developmental variant was symmetrically detected during a dissection of an 81-year-old female donated cadaver.
Retrograde filling of an internal iliac artery aneurysm via the profunda femoris artery: A case report of type IIa endoleak.

Introduction: Internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon but clinically significant vascular condition that can lead to life-threatening complications, such as rupture and endoleaks, following endovascular repair. Endoleaks particularly type IIa, occur when there is retrograde flow into the aneurysm sac from collateral vessels, and their presence can jeopardize the success of repair procedures. This case report illustrates a rare occurrence of a type IIa endoleak attributed to retrograde filling from the profunda femoris artery, providing insights into the diagnostic complexities and management of IIAAs.

Profunda femoris artery aneurysms (PFAAs) are rare because of the histo-anatomical characteristics of the profunda femoris arteries. We present a case of simultaneous PFAA and common femoral artery aneurysm (CFAA) incidentally detected on computed tomography in a 58-year-old man with diverticular bleeding. Images revealed a 37-mm right PFAA and a 24-mm right CFAA.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated three-year outcomes of endovascular treatment (EVT) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with severe calcified lesions in the common femoral artery (CFA), using data from the Duesseldorf PTA Registry.
- A total of 150 patients were analyzed, with 66 undergoing rotational excisional atherectomy (REA) followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty, and 84 receiving DCB alone; the procedural success rate was high at 97%.
- Findings indicated that EVT is safe and effective, showing high primary and secondary patency rates, low major adverse limb events (MALEs), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after three years, suggesting that RE
