Superficial Femoral Artery Aneurysm as a Cause of Deep Vein Thrombosis Treated With a Covered Stent

J Invasive Cardiol. 2018 Nov;30(11):E124-E125.

Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis due to superficial femoral artery aneurysm is an extremely rare condition that develops due to aneurysm direct compression of a segment of the venous system. We present a 57-year-old female patient who had recently undergone a left superficial femoral artery (SFA) intervention at an outside institution due to significant peripheral artery disease. Imaging revealed a 3.2 cm SFA aneurysm with secondary mass effect on the left mid superficial femoral vein. She underwent successful exclusion of the aneurysm with a 6.0 x 10 cm Viabahn covered stent.

Keywords: cardiac imaging; computed tomography angiography; deep vein thrombosis.
