title: Endovascular treatment of a ruptured profunda femoral artery branch after fogarty thrombectomy of a femoro-femoral crossover arterial graft: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: We present a very rare case of a life-threatening rupture of a profunda femoral artery distal branch after a Fogarty thrombectomy of a thrombosed crossover synthetic graft between the ipsilateral common femoral artery and a contralateral iliac-popliteal graft; the bleeding profunda femoral artery branch was successfully embolized with metallic coils through the axillary artery approach.
