Abstract
One case of superficial femoral aneuvrysm treated percuteanously by endovas cular stent graft (Passager Boston) is reported. The initial radiographic e valuation included arteriography and color doppler sonography which enable analysis of the flow path, the extent of the wall thrombus, the choice of s tended graft size. The procedure of implantation was technically trouble fr ee. The post-procedure 3D CT and arteriography demonstrated occlusion of th e aneuvrysm and restauration of normal flow path. The six and twelve month check confirmed the stability of the results locally and the integrity of r un off vessels. In weekened and specially elderly patient percutaneous trea tment of superficial femoral artery aneuvrysm can be caried out easily. The contribution of 3D CT is essentiel in follow up to ensure an optimal resul t and to detect any complication.
