1 Superficial femoral artery thrombosis as a cause for distal embolism in primary antiphospholipid syndrome  Lannery S. Lauvao, MD, Kaoru R. Goshima, MD, Luis R. Leon, MD, RVT, Paul E. Nolan, PharmD, John D. Hughes, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 48, Issue 2, Pages (August 2008) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Left, An active venous stasis ulcer is shown affecting the pretibial area of our patient. Right, Punctate ulcers are shown affecting the left first and fifth toes. The left third and forth toes had tender, flat, punctate bluish discolored lesions, likely precursors of ulcers, in the context of normal distal pulses.

3 Fig 2 Angiography of the left lower extremity shows a smooth filling defect affecting the middle third of the superficial femoral artery, thought to be the culprit of the distal embolic phenomenon. The normal appearance of the rest of the artery and the lack of collateral vessels are noteworthy, confirming the lack of atherosclerosis as an etiologic factor for this patient's complaints.

4 Fig 3 Left, Intraoperative photograph shows the lumen of the left superficial femoral artery at its distal third demonstrating organized thrombus and periarterial fibrosis. No periarterial calcification or intimal thickening was evident upon surgical manipulation. Right, The photograph shows the final appearance of the cephalic vein interposition graft.

5 Fig 4 Histopathologic section of arterial vessel wall shows thrombus without evidence for atherosclerosis. Hemotoxylin and eosin staining, ×40 original magnification. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
