Superficial femoral artery aneurysms: an unusual entity?
Patients with superficial femoral artery aneurysms may present with distal ischemia, with a pulsatile thigh mass, with rupture and bleeding, or the aneurysms may be discovered during other investigations. The high incidence of complications suggests that resection and grafting should be performed electively, and the frequent association of aortoiliac or peripheral aneurysms mandates thorough investigation and follow-up.
Basiliximab induction prevents acute rejection; however, it is associated with increased risk of NODAT.
