Abstract
We report a case of superficial femoral artery (SFA) stent fractures (SF) with atypical symptoms and site of disruption. Patient was hospitalized for sudden onset of right thigh pain, nonrelated to steno-obstructive disease. Preoperative ultrasound suspected and computed tomographic angiography (CTA) confirmed multiple proximal SFA SFs with concurrent pseudoaneurysms. A peripheral endograft was deployed covering the entire SFA, achieving a complete “relining” with exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. Pain disappeared and postoperative control demonstrated good patency of the SFA. After 1 month, patient reported no further events and CTA revealed patency of the endograft and exclusion of the pseudoaneurysm. At 1 year follow-up, Viabahn is patent with no further symptoms reported by the patient.
