[Surgical problems in the treatment of aneurysm of femoral artery bifurcation].
The different types and causes of aneurysm in the region of the femoral artery bifurication as well as the possibilities of surgical treatment are discussed on the basis of 4 patients, each with a differnt type of aneurysm. The examples show clearly that the basic of 4 patients, each with a different type of aneurysm. The examples show clearly that the  basic disease can prevent successful surgical reconstruction of the arterial blood circulation. The use of synthetic prostheses is not possible in case of infection in this area  because of the deleterious subsequences unless the entire infected area can be avoided with a bypass. (Fig. 2a). Trials with autologous veins and arteries, are , therefore, justified. The technical procedure for the use of the greater saphenous vein or deep femoral artery is described. In the authors' patients as well as those reported in the literature, it is clear than aneurysms in the region of the femoral artery bifurcation are sometimes difficult to treat. Hwerver, their localisation near the surface should allow early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
