Degenerative femoral artery aneurysms are uncommon and often associated with aneurysm in other distributions. We report a case of a 68-year-old man with multianeurysmal disease involving the aorta, iliac, femoral, and popliteal arteries managed interdisciplinary by stent-graft placement and open surgical repair. Genetic testing revealed a variant in the FBN2 gene encoding fibrillin-2, an important component of microfibrils. We detail arterial reconstruction of the femoral artery and discuss incidence, diagnosis, and therapy of femoral artery aneurysms.

Celiac artery aneurysms are rarely seen in clinical practice. We report an unusual case of a large celiac artery aneurysm in a patient with associated visceral occlusive disease who presented with vague abdominal pain and underwent uneventful open surgical repair.

An 81-year-old male with past surgical history significant for right common femoral to posterior tibial artery bypass as well as aortic aneurysm repair using endograft presented with painful pulsatile right groin swelling. Ultrasound imaging revealed a fluid collection and concern for ruptured right common femoral artery aneurysm with expanding hematoma. The patient underwent prompt aneurysm excision with graft interposition complicated by wound dehiscence for which he subsequently underwent wound exploration, revision of proximal anastomosis and sartorius myoplasty. Our case illustrates a rare form of femoral artery rupture and operative management of a true common femoral artery aneurysm.
