title: Diagnosis of a ruptured deep femoral artery aneurysm--a case report.
abstract: Deep femoral artery aneurysms are rarely atherosclerotic in origin and infrequently rupture. A case of spontaneous rupture of an isolated deep femoral atherosclerotic aneurysm is presented. The computed tomographic, angiographic, and clinical findings are discussed. These findings allowed preoperative diagnosis of this lesion.
