Abstract:
The authors present an account on their experience with the treatment of false aneurysms of the femoral artery in their department. They mention the most frequent causes of development of false aneurysms in general and demonstrate on a group of patients the necessity of early surgical intervention in different patients. They emphasize the serious character of mycotic aneurysms associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate.
Insights
