Abstract: (2151 Views)
Single superficial femoral artery (SFA) aneurysm is rare and occurs in approximately 5 per 100,000 patients. Rupture is a rare complication in this aneurysm. In this case report, we present the diagnostic and therapeutic work up of a ruptured SFA aneurysm of the right lower limb in a 75-year-old diabetic man with ischemic heart disease. Pre-surgical diagnosis was through physical examination findings and color Doppler flow imaging. The defective part of the artery was resected and then reconstructed through autologous saphenous vein grafting harvested from the opposite limb. No early post-surgical complication was observed. If a pulsatile mass is found in the thigh, the SFA aneurysm should be considered as a differential diagnosis to prevent premature death and lower limb amputation by timely surgery.
