Spontaneous Femoral Artery Dissection: a Case Report

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Spontaneous non-aneurysmal dissection of a peripheral artery is extremely rare. Most recorded cases involved inciting events such as collagen vascular disease, pregnancy, or intense exercise in athletes. Ultrasound, computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and conventional angiography can all diagnose femoral artery stenosis. This case is of a 37-year-old Caucasian female patient with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia, equivalent angina, and atherosclerosis with intermittent claudication of bilateral lower extremities. The diagnosis of stenosis of the focal high-grade stenosis of the proximal left superficial femoral artery (SFA) was made through computer tomography angiography due to a thin linear filling defect consistent with thromboembolism, and she underwent a stent placement, which demonstrated positive results.
