Isolated profunda femoris insufficiency.
Because of rich anastomotic network profunda femoris artery is an important link between iliac and superficial femoral/popliteal circulation and thus isolated insufficiency of profunda is rare. It happened in the case reported herein when patient's own native common femoral artery and its bifurcation was excluded by aorto-femoral and femoro-popliteal bypass graft. Revasculatization of profunda ameliorated the problem.
