title: [Aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery at the rupture stage. Apropos 2 personal cases].
abstract: The paper reports two case of aneurysms of the surface femoral artery during the rupturing stage. Preoperative clinical data are described together with intraoperative angiographic examinations. These led to the choice of different surgical techniques in the two patients, thus enabling their limbs to be saved. In addition, it is extremely important to carry out an echographic control of all areas which are most likely to be affected by aneurysmatic degeneration in subjects with both obstructive and dilatative arteriopathies in order to avoid emergency surgery.
