Time for a new classification of femoral artery aneurysm?

N Amer et al. Vasa. 2004 Aug.

Abstract

It has been over 30 years now since the original classification of femoral artery aneurysms by Darning and Cutler to type 1 and 2. We have demonstrated in a case report that it is time for amendment of this classification. Isolated profunda aneurysm do exist as separate entity, and they can be managed by complete exclusion from the circulation provided the presence of patent superficial femoral artery and good runoff circulation, without any ill effects.
