Abstract:
Isolated true atherosclerotic aneurysm of the distal superficial femoral artery is rare disease. We experienced a case of distal superficial femoral artery aneurysm not associated with dilatation of the common femoral or popliteal artery. True arterial aneurysms are attributed to the weakening of the arterial wall due to atherosclerosis. True superficial femoral artery aneurysms were predominantly founded in elderly men and used to be diagnosed by ultrasonography, CT or angiogram. We report a case of distal superficial femoral arterial aneurysmal rupture in elderly woman who has a rheumatoid athritis and diagnosed by ultrasonography. We performed aneurysmal excision and interposition graft with PTFE.
