De Garengeot's hernia is a rare surgical phenomenon and describes the presence of the vermiform appendix within a femoral hernia. We describe a case of acute appendicitis mimicking an irreducible femoral hernia and reiterate key operative techniques necessary to prevent post-operative morbidity associated with this pathology.

A 75-year-old woman developed an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) between the common femoral artery and common femoral vein following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of left long saphenous vein. Failed coil embolization of the AVF was followed by successful surgical ligation. Awareness of the aetiology of this uncommon complication of RFA and its treatment options is important with the increasing use of RFA for varicose vein treatment.
