title: Recurrent cystic adventitial disease of the iliofemoral artery.
abstract: We present the case of a 39-year-old man with recurrence of intermittent claudication 4 years after successful Dacron patch repair of the right common femoral artery for cystic adventitial disease. Magnetic resonance angiography results were inconclusive, while conventional angiography demonstrated 90% stenosis of the right common femoral artery. The patient underwent excision and replacement of the affected artery with PTFE and was asymptomatic at 6-month follow-up. In recurrent cystic adventitial disease, excision and replacement of the affected artery with a prosthetic interposition graft provides a successful outcome with minimal chance of recurrence.
