Morphometric study of the deep femoral artery in patients with and without total occlusion of the superficial femoral artery

ABSTRACT

The profunda femoral or deep femoral artery physiologically supplies the tissue of the thigh. The profunda femoris artery is recog-nized the most important collateral vessel for bypassing the obstructed superficial femoral artery and is essential for maintaining limb viability.This paper shows the situation of the artery profunda femoris with superficial artery occlusion, with specific reference to the mor-phometric angiographic manifestations produced by impaired hemodynamics in the lower extremity. The morphologic and mor-phometric characteristics of profunda femoral artery are studied as expression of possible hemodynamic compensation through the hypertrophy of the vessel in the situation of occlusion of superficial femoral artery. This paper show, the situation of the artery profunda femoris with superficial artery occlusion, with specific reference to the mor-phometric angiographic manifestations produced by impaired homodynamic in the lower extremity. The morphologic and morpho-metric characteristics are studied as expression of physiopathology's characteristics of the profunda femoris artery with occlusion of the superficial femoral
