Popliteal artery aneurysm are seen more common than
femoral artery aneurysms. Common femoral artery (CFA) aneuryms, superficial
femoral artery (SFA) aneurysms and profound femoral artery (PFA) aneurysms are
relatively rare and incidence rates are 80%, 15% and 5% respectively among the
all femoral artery aneurysms and most of them are pseudoaneurysms. True
aneurysms are often seen bilaterally (38%) and accompanying popliteal artery
aneurysms (%27-44) or abdominal aorta aneurysms (%50-90). These aneuryms can be
thrombose, embolize or rupture. Repair is indicated for symptomatic patients.
Diameter and extent of the aneurysm are the main indicators for the surgical
treatment. We present the successful menagement of a 67 year old male who was
presented with left femoral artery aneurysm.
