Isolated true aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery are rare and less common than those of the common femoral artery. They occurred commonly in elderly men in about 87% and most of them are located in the middle third of the artery. Due to the deep anatomic location of the middle and distal third of the superficial femoral artery, most of these aneurysms reach a mean diameter of 8.4 cm at diagnosis. The most common clinical presentation includes a pulsatile thigh mass associated with pain, but rupture and distal ischemia can occur as well. The treatment of the true superficial femoral artery aneurysm consists of exclusion with bypass or interposition graft. Endovascular treatment has been used recently as an alternative treatment, in both emergency and least urgent cases. We present a rare case of a male patient with a huge thigh hematoma due to a ruptured true superficial femoral artery aneurysm.

Purpose: Angioplasty of lower extremity arteries with calcification may result in flow-limiting dissection requiring bail-out stenting with unfavorable long-term outcomes. Vessel preparation prior to angioplasty may improve immediate results of the angioplasty and long-term patency. This prospective study assessed the 12-month outcomes of patients who underwent novel vessel preparation catheter, the FLEX Vessel Prep™ System (FLEX VP), prior to drug-coated balloon angioplasty (DCB-PTA).

Objective: We present our experience with endovascular Bentall procedure (Endo-Bentall) using a modular valve conduit (Endo-Bentall) in high-risk patients with aortic root pathologies.
Methods: The physician constructed Endo-Bentall device is composed of a self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve (TAVR), aortic endovascular stent graft (TEVAR), and two wire-reinforced fenestrations for coronary artery stenting. The TAVR valve is sutured into an appropriately sized TEVAR graft.
Introduction: In 2015, Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines on claudication management were released spanning optimal medical management, procedural, and post-procedure recommendations. Uptake of guidelines and changes to clinical practice over time remain unknown. This study hypothesized that guideline aligned practice increased after guideline release.

Introduction And Importance: A traumatic arteriovenous fistula (TAVF) is a vascular injury where an artery and a vein become abnormally connected. Although endovascular intervention is often the first choice for TAVF, some special cases still require open surgery.
Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man developed a chronic AVF in the lower superficial femoral artery (SFA) one year after a farming accident.
