| Popis: |
Non-traumatic or spontaneous dissection of the superficial femoral artery is an extremely rare entity, being more common in the external iliac artery in relation to intensive physical activity, pregnancy, among others. It has a variable clinical presentation. The diagnosis is made through angio-tomography (Angio-CT), angio-resonance (Angio-MR) and/or arteriography, the last one being diagnostic and therapeutic.The case of a 62-year-old female patient with a history of high blood pressure who consulted due to intense pain in the left lower limb is discussed. The diagnosis of dissection was made through arteriography and she underwent endovascular repair, showing favorable results. |
