AI Article Synopsis
- The case involves a patient with both bilateral femoral artery aneurysms and bilateral thrombosis in the common femoral veins.
- Femoral artery aneurysms can occur alongside other arterial anomalies and may be linked to venous clots, though this is uncommon.
- A comprehensive vascular ultrasound examination is essential for patients with femoral artery aneurysms, covering areas like the abdominal aorta, iliac vessels, and deep veins in the legs.
Article Abstract
We report the sonographic findings of a patient with bilateral femoral artery aneurysms with concomitant bilateral deep venous thrombosis of the common femoral veins. Femoral arterial aneurysms may be associated with additional arterial aneurysms, and rarely with associated venous thrombosis. Patients presenting with femoral artery aneurysms should undergo a thorough vascular sonographic examination that includes the abdominal aorta, the iliac vessels and the deep venous system of the lower extremity.
