Bilateral variant origin of deep femoral artery and its branches – A case report
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Accurate knowledge of the course and ramification of the vessels of the lower limbs received attention from surgeons and clinicians, due to their successful procedures in the femoral triangle. Variations in the origin of profundafemoris artery and its branches are also important to avoid damage during accessing femoral artery. Accurate knowledge of anatomical variations regarding origins of the profundafemoris, medial and lateral femoral circumflex arteries are important for clinicians in the present modern era of interventional radiology. During the routine cadaveric dissection, variations in the origin and branching pattern of profunda femoral artery and its branches were observed. Developmental arrest at different stages may lead to anatomical variations related to the division of the femoral artery. Knowledge of the variations of the site of origin and course of profundafemoris and its circumflex branches is of diagnostic significance and is important invarious surgical procedures and reduces chances of peri-operative complications.
