A rare association of fibromuscular dysplasia of the femoral artery with aneurysm and occlusion treated alternatively.
A unique case of fibromuscular dysplasia of the femoral artery with aneurysm and occlusion of the superficial femoral artery component is presented. This aneurysm was treated by dacron wrap. External dacron grafts have been previously reported and used with success in a variety of arterial aneurysms. The authors present their rationale and indication for its use in this unusual arterial problem.
