Staged approach for surgical management of a true femoral artery aneurysm combined with bilateral iliac artery aneurysms

True femoral artery aneurysm is a rare vascular entity and is often associated with aortic or peripheral aneurysms. Life-threatening complications associated with peripheral arterial aneurysms include rupture, thrombosis, and embolization. In patients with multiple aneurysms, any symptomatic aneurys...

Sumario:True femoral artery aneurysm is a rare vascular entity and is often associated with aortic or peripheral aneurysms. Life-threatening complications associated with peripheral arterial aneurysms include rupture, thrombosis, and embolization. In patients with multiple aneurysms, any symptomatic aneurysms should be treated first; in asymptomatic patients, the aneurysms can be repaired either simultaneously in a single operation or serially in a staged procedure. We report a case of concomitant true femoral aneurysm and bilateral iliac artery aneurysms, which were treated with a combination of open surgical and endovascular techniques.
