Roentgenologic Aspects of the Obstruction of the Deep Femoral Artery
Chapter
Abstract
The deep femoral artery (DFA) is the primary source of blood flow to the thigh and the major collateral source for the leg when the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is occluded (Towne and Rollins 1986). With increased recognition of the importance of the DFA as a collateral vessel in atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease, improved techniques for arteriography visualization of the DFA have been developed, allowing classification based on atherosclerotic disease distribution. Specific roentgenographic patterns of atherosclerotic disease can then be correlated with the results of surgical revascularization of the DFA.
