Surgical Treatment of Simultaneous Common Femoral and Profunda Femoris Artery Aneurysms

Abstract

Summary: Profunda femoris artery aneurysms (PFAAs) are rare because of the histo-anatomical characteristics of the profunda femoris arteries. We present a case of simultaneous PFAA and common femoral artery aneurysm (CFAA) incidentally detected on computed tomography in a 58-year-old man with diverticular bleeding. Images revealed a 37-mm right PFAA and a 24-mm right CFAA. According to the report, PFAAs >20 mm are a surgical indication, and surgery should be decided based on the patient's general condition. We resected the aneurysms and reconstructed the arteries using vascular prostheses. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 8 days postoperatively.
