Ruptured atherosclerotic aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery. Case report.
Aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery are rare. A case of multiple superficial femoral artery aneurysms, of which one ruptured, is described. After surgical treatment the prognosis is favourable, but without therapy the risks of rupture, thrombosis or embolization are great.
