Abstract

LeRiche Syndrome, characterized by a combination of intermittent claudication, erectile dysfunction, and absent femoral pulses due to atherosclerotic occlusion of the aortoiliac and femoral arteries, presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This report explores the case of a patient with LeRiche Syndrome with superficial femoral artery (SFA) occlusion, treated by combination of aortoiliac revascularization and SFA angioplasty. Preoperative imaging, including angiography, revealed aortoiliac occlusion with complete occlusion of the SFA. The patient underwent successful revascularization of the aortoiliac arteries with stenting, followed by angioplasty of the occluded SFA. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with significant improvement in symptoms, including resolution of claudication and restoration of femoral pulses. This case underscores the importance of comprehensive vascular evaluation and individualized treatment strategies for managing LeRiche Syndrome, highlighting the role of combined aortoiliac revascularization and SFA angioplasty in achieving favourable outcomes.
