The superficial femoral artery/popliteal artery (SFA/PA) index is lower than 1.00 in patients with type I aneurysmosis. This SFA/PA index differs significantly from patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms, aiding type I diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Type I aneurysmosis involves diffuse aneurysms in the aortoiliac-common femoral arteries and arteriomegaly in the femoropopliteal segments.
  • Accurate diagnosis of type I aneurysmosis is crucial for effective patient management and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the diameters of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and popliteal artery (PA) in patients with type I aneurysmosis.
  • To calculate the SFA/PA index and compare it between patients with type I aneurysmosis and a control group.
  • To determine if the SFA/PA index can serve as a diagnostic marker for type I aneurysmosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 76 limbs from 38 patients diagnosed with type I aneurysmosis.

  • Comparison of the SFA/PA index in the study group with 76 limbs from 38 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (control group).
  • Statistical analysis to determine the significance of differences in the SFA/PA index between the groups.

    • Main Results:

    • The SFA/PA index was consistently <1.00 in limbs of patients with type I aneurysmosis.
    • In contrast, the SFA/PA index was >=1.00 in all patients within the abdominal aortic aneurysm control group.
    • A statistically significant difference (p < .001) was observed between the SFA/PA index in the type I aneurysmosis group and the control group.

    Conclusions:

    • The SFA/PA index is a valuable quantitative measure differentiating type I aneurysmosis from abdominal aortic aneurysms.
    • A SFA/PA index <1.00 can be considered a complementary diagnostic sign for type I aneurysmosis.
    • This finding supports the use of the SFA/PA index in the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected type I aneurysmosis.
