| Popis: | We present a 25-year-old Chinese male patient who was diagnosed with Behcet's disease after suffering bilateral femoral artery pseudo-aneurysms. This was treated surgically by excising the pseudo-aneurysm and achieving vascular continuity by harvesting the great saphenous vein as a conduit. Arterial pseudo-aneurysms are rare vascular manifestations in Behcet's disease and management with vein is advisable as patients are frequently on long-term immunosuppression which puts them at risk of infections with prosthetic grafts. |
