Abstract:
Profunda femoris artery aneurysm is a rare vascular disorder, which is often diagnosed incidentally on identification of synchronous aneurysms. Herein, we report the case of a 63-year-old man, presenting with a hepatic cyst, who had left profunda femoris artery and left internal iliac artery aneurysms. We performed surgical intervention, including resection of the aneurysm and reconstruction of the profunda femoris artery using a prosthetic graft. The postoperative course was uneventful, and computed tomography revealed good graft patency. We believe surgical reconstruction of the profunda femoris artery should be completed except in complicated cases, such as rupture or aneurysm in the distal segment of the profunda femoris artery.
