Anatomical terminology

The lateral circumflex femoral artery (lateral femoral circumflex artery, external circumflex artery) is an artery in the upper thigh.

Structure

The lateral femoral circumflex artery arises from the lateral side of the profunda femoris artery, passes horizontally between the divisions of the femoral nerve, and behind the sartorius and rectus femoris, and divides into ascending, transverse, and descending branches. The lateral femoral circumflex artery may occasionally arise directly from the femoral artery. The artery usually courses anterior to the femoral neck and in between the branches of femoral nerve. A rare variant where the artery passes posterior to the femoral nerve has also been reported which is of great significance to the surgeon.

• Clinical analysis of risk factors of the patency of the descending branch of the lateral circumflex femoral artery.

• Choi HJ1, Jung KH, Wee SY.Author information 1Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, College of Medicine, Soonchunhyang University , Cheonan , Korea.AbstractAbstract Many studies have provided anatomical statistics of the descending branch of lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA) through its use as the pedicle of anterolateral thigh (ALT) flaps. However, most of the results from these studies were acquired during surgeries or from cadavers. Therefore, this study has studied the descending branch of LCFA in patients with underlying diseases or risk factors using lower extremity angiography, and how such risk factors and the degree of stenosis in other arteries affect the patency and stability of the descending branch. The subjects of retrospective study were 89 legs from 49 patients who had received lower extremity angiography. Risk factors included age, BMI, diabetes, hypertension, tobacco use, hyperlipidemia, cardiac status, carotid status, renal disease, pulmonary status, and history of lower limb amputation. Analysis of the degree of stenosis in the descending branch of LCFA in regard to each risk factor have shown that hypertension, pulmonary function, history of lower limb amputation, and the total score of 11 risk factors were statistically significant. Also, in the correlation study of lower limb arteries, there was a significant correlation with the degree of stenosis in the posterior tibial artery, but not so in others. Therefore, when planning a flap surgery using the descending branch of LCFA, one needs to run imaging tests such as angiography to check arterial patency in patients with hypertension, impaired pulmonary function, and history of lower limb amputation.

Among various vascular sources that have been used for this purpose, anterolateral thigh fascia seems to represent a greater value because of having a long and strong vascular pedicle and negligible donor-site morbidity. In this regard, we present a technical report on using the lateral circumflex femoral artery perforator flap harvest technique in preparing an anterolateral thigh fascia flap for the prefabrication of the supraclavicular skin. The technique proved successful in resurfacing the facial skin of a young female patient with a giant congenital melanocytic hairy nevus on the left side of her face.
