Abstract

The outcome of surgery for femoral artery aneurysms is dependent on the preoperative status of the runoff vessels. We report a case of a femoral artery aneurysm complicated by thromboembolic obstruction of the distal superficial femoral and profunda femoris arteries. Fortunately, the collateral arteries were viable runoff vessels for restoring adequate blood flow to the limb.
