[Percutaneous treatment of a superficial femoral artery aneurysm using an intravascular stent-prosthesis].

One case of superficial femoral aneurysm treated percutaneously by endovascular stent graft (Passager Boston) is reported. The initial radiographic evaluation included arteriography and color doppler sonography which enable analysis of the flow path, the extent of the wall thrombus, the choice of stended graft size. The procedure of implantation was technically trouble free. The post-procedure 3D CT and arteriography demonstrated occlusion of the aneurysm and resaturation of normal flow path. The six and twelve month check confirmed the stability of the results locally and the integrity of run off vessels. In weakened and specially elderly patient percutaneous treatment of superficial femoral artery aneurysm can be carried out easily. The contribution of 3D CT is essential in follow up to ensure an optimal result and to detect any complication.

[Adventicial cyst of the popliteal artery].

In a 42-year-old man with intermittent calf claudication, cystic adventitial disease of the popliteal artery was demonstrated by 3D CT. Cystic mass was seen to be compressing the arterial lumen. The diagnosis of cystic adventitial was confirmed by surgery. Compared with color doppler sonography, MR Imaging, 3D CT provides additional useful anatomic information concerning disease of the popliteal artery, usually gained only with sonography or arteriography.

[Percutaneous treatment of iliac aneurysms with endovascular stented grafts].

Two cases of iliac aneurysms treated percutaneously by endovascular stented graft are reported. The initial radiographic evaluation included arteriography and computed tomography with helical acquisition and three dimensional reconstruction. This enabled analysis of the flow path, the extent of the wall thrombus, the choice of stent graft's size. The procedure of implantation was technically trouble free. The post-procedure arteriography and 3D CT demonstrated occlusion of the aneurysm and restauration of a normal flow path. The three, six and twelve month check-ups confirm the good results. In weakened patients or those not requiring aorto-iliac surgery, percutaneous treatment of iliac aneurysm can be carried out easily. The contribution of 3D CT is essential in assessing the endo- and extra-luminal characteristics of aneurysm for indicating the percutaneous route and selecting size of the stented graft.
