Dorsalis Pedis Artery Aneurysm: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Panagitsa Christoforou et al. Ann Vasc Surg. 2016 Jul.

Abstract

Aneurysms of the foot arteries are rare. A case of a true dorsalis pedis artery aneurysm in a 69-year-old man, with no history of local trauma or injury on his foot, is presented. Clinical examination and ultrasonic imaging confirmed the aneurysm. Dorsalis pedis artery aneurysm was resected and an end-to-end anastomosis was performed, without complications. Arterial duplex scan findings, operative procedure, and literature review are presented and discussed.
