Özet

During our routine dissections in 2007-2008 term, we encountered a complex variation at the left femoral region of a 65-year-old male cadaver. There was an additional descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) and this additional branch was originating from the point where LCFA branched from the deep femoral artery (DFA); the descending branch of the medial circumflex femoral artery (MCFA) branched from the additional descending branch of the LCFA. The ascending branch of the MCFA was originating from the DFA. The deep femoral artery, LCFA and MCFA are widely used in myocu taneous flap surgery, aorto-popliteal bypass, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary and peripheric angiographies and can expose to traumas. Keeping these kinds of variations in mind may be of importance in surgical and radiological interventions. Copyright © 2010 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
