Duplication of the superficial femoral artery.
A computed tomographic angiogram for pseudoaneurysm after previous puncture in the groin showed duplication of the superficial femoral artery in a 52-year-old man without symptoms or signs of arterial insufficiency. It is doubtful whether this very rare anatomic variant has clinical relevance, but it should be known by vascular specialists.
