Two emergency femoral arteriograms: radiological case report

ABSTRACT

The value of femoral arteriography performed as an emergency procedure is illustrated by two cases. The first case was an aneurysm of the lower femoral artery which had ruptured and produced acute ischaemic changes in the affected limb. The second case of a varicose aneurysm was due to a gun-shot wound in the thigh. The aneurysm presented clinically as an abscess. Surgical excisison and repair of the aneurysm was performed in each case (AU)
