“…The majority of the SFA or PFA aneurysms are undetectable upon physical examinations due to their deep location; 60% to 75% of these types of aneurysms are diagnosed after rupturing or growing to a large size, which then causes symptoms. 3,5 In our review, only 1 case reported in 1991 used an arteriogram for diagnosis, while the remaining newer cases used a CTA. In our case, the CTA showed a hematoma located between the SFA and PFA aneurysms, and the hematoma was surrounding the PFA aneurysm.…”

“…21 Despite this frequent relationship, reports on synchronous or metasynchronous true aneurysms of the SFA and the PFA are seldom. We performed a literature review by investigating existing review articles [3][4][5][6][22][23][24][25][26] of true femoral aneurysms and searching the Medline database for true SFA and PFA aneurysms. Three case reports with synchronous or metasynchronous true aneurysms of the SFA (type III) and the PFA (type IV) are identified ( Table 1).…”

“…2 The aneurysms of the profunda femoris artery (PFA) account for 5% and the aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) account for 15% of all true femoral aneurysms. 3 Due to deep localization, these aneurysms are difficult to diagnose. Therefore, these commonly present with rupture and prompt intervention is needed.…”

Atherosclerotic true aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and profunda femoris artery (PFA) are rare and difficult to detect. The synchronous presence of SFA and PFA aneurysms is even rarer. Herein, we present a case with ipsilateral true SFA and PFA aneurysms diagnosed with rupture. A review of the international literature is made, and the diagnosis and treatment options of this rare condition are discussed. A 75-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with an aneurysm on the distal SFA and the ipsilateral PFA, as well as a hematoma around the PFA. It was difficult to determine the source of the rupture before surgery, even with proper imaging. Successful ligation of the PFA and an aneurysmectomy followed by a bypass grafting for the SFA were performed. An intraoperative examination revealed that the SFA aneurysm had ruptured. In elderly males with a history of ectasia or aneurysm on the aorta or peripheral arteries, a synchronous aneurysm on the SFA or the PFA should be suspected.

“…Femoropopliteal synthetic or saphenous vein bypass is implemented in case of mid-distal aneurysms; if anastomosis below-the-knee is required, it would be advisable to use an autologous saphenous vein graft. [8][9][10][11] When presenting with massive life-threatening bleeding, sole aneurysm ligation is advisable. Furthermore, hematoma drainage is described to avoid tissue compression.…”

Background: Degenerative superficial femoral artery aneurysms are rare and can lead to catastrophic complications; among these, rupture is the most usual, whereas peripheral embolization is less common. Method: We report a patient with a large superficial femoral artery aneurysm presenting with irreversible limb ischemia, due to multiple distal embolization as demonstrated with urgent computed tomography angiography. Due to local and systemic consequences primary limb amputation was performed. Unfortunately, the patient died from cardiac arrest on the 2nd postoperative day. Conclusion: Delayed diagnosis of true superficial femoral artery aneurysms can result in life-threatening consequences. Peripheral embolization is an uncommon event, but can lead to irreversible ischemia and limb loss.
