ANGIOARHITECTONICS AND MORPHOMETRY OF THE DEEP FEMORAL ARTERY

Uzhhorod National University, Uzhhorod,
Ukraine

Objective. To study the surgical anatomy of the deep femoral artery.
Methods. The study of angioarchitectonics of the deep femoral artery was carried out on 20 cadavers. On one side of the lower extremity, the deep femoral artery was isolated over 17 cm, all branches of the deep artery were taken on handles, their number was fixed as well as the diameter at the level of the main trunk and distal to 17 cm, variants of the union of the medial and lateral enveloping branches, variants of the anatomical structure of the deep femoral artery and the location of the orifice relatively to the common femoral artery. After that, the superficial femoral artery at the level of the orifice was ligated and puncture-catheter angiography of the deep femoral artery was performed on a PXP-40HF mobile unit (52-58 kV, 1.8-3.2 mas) at a focal length of 1 m. For an angiographic study, 20 ml of a 76% triombrast solution was used.
Results. Based on the data revision, three main options for the structure of the deep femoral artery trunk were determined. The first variant occurred in 11 (55%) cases, where the presence of the only one trunk of the deep femoral artery from which the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries clearly departed. In the second variant, the lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries and the deep femoral artery diverged separately from the common femoral artery. A feature of the anatomical structure of the deep femoral artery for the third variant was the lack of a clear distinction between the main trunk of the deep femoral artery and its branches.
Conclusions. The deep femoral artery has three main options of formation and separation from the common femoral artery. According to the divergence of the deep femoral artery from the common femoral artery, it was found out that in 50% of observations the influx of the deep femoral artery is located on the lateral semicircle, in 25% of observations – on the posterior-lateral semicircle, in 15% – on the posterior semicircle and in 10% – on the posterior medial semicircle.
