Duplication of superficial femoral artery: an uncommon variation of the lower limb arterial system.
The most common anatomical variation of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is hypoplasia or aplasia, associated with persistent sciatic artery. Duplication of SFA remains uncommon. We report a case of SFA duplication discovered on an angiogram performed for critical limb ischemia, in an 80-year-old man.
