Successful transcatheter arterial embolization for pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery in a patient with presumptive ACTA2-related vasculopathy.

ABSTRACT: ACTA2-related vasculopathy is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by aortic aneurysms and dissection, and limb artery lesions are rare. We report a case of transcatheter arterial embolization for a pseudoaneurysm of a deep femoral artery in a patient with presumptive ACTA2-related vasculopathy. A 58-year-old woman was presumed to have an ACTA2 mutation based on her history of aortic diseases and family history of ACTA2 mutations. During follow-up, contrast-enhanced computed tomography for aortic diseases revealed occlusion and vessel wall abnormalities of the bilateral deep femoral arteries. Two weeks later, she complained of acute right inguinal pain without any triggering factors, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the ri
