Atherosclerotic true aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) and profunda femoris artery (PFA) are rare and difficult to detect. The synchronous presence of SFA and PFA aneurysms is even rarer. Herein, we present a case with ipsilateral true SFA and PFA aneurysms diagnosed with rupture. A review of the international literature is made, and the diagnosis and treatment options of this rare condition are discussed. A 75-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with an aneurysm on the distal SFA and the ipsilateral PFA, as well as a hematoma around the PFA. It was difficult to determine the source of the rupture before surgery, even with proper imaging. Successful ligation of the PFA and an aneurysmectomy followed by a bypass grafting for the SFA were performed. An intraoperative examination revealed that the SFA aneurysm had ruptured. In elderly males with a history of ectasia or aneurysm on the aorta or peripheral arteries, a synchronous aneurysm on the SFA or the PFA should be suspected.

Femoral artery aneurysms are rare and generally affect elderly patients. They are often diagnosed in combination with aneurysms in other locations, such as peripheral and aortic aneurysms. This case report describes a young patient whose superficial femoral artery (SFA) had a clinical presentation suggestive of a ruptured aneurysm. The patient underwent standard treatment, with aneurysmectomy and interposition of the ipsilateral saphenous vein. A review of the literature confirms the rarity of this case

Objectives Lower extremity arterial anatomic variations are rare, with duplication of the superficial femoral artery being an extremely uncommon variant with few prior reports in the literature. Methods/Results: We report the case of a 68-year-old male with calf claudication who underwent angiography and was found to have two separate areas of vessel duplication along the superficial femoral artery, which has not previously been described in the literature. Conclusion Although uncommon, recognition of a duplicated superficial femoral artery is important to avoid difficulties and complications that may arise during open or endovascular procedures.

Background: Osteochondromas or Osteocartilaginous Exostosis are cartilage-capped bony growths arising from external bone surfaces. They typically occur at the level of growth plates and account for 30% of benign bone tumors. Vascular complications from osteochondromas are rare with roughly 112 reported cases in the literature dating back as early as 1953. Vascular injuries are location dependent, with popliteal pseudoaneurysms being the most prevalent. The operative techniques to repair these injuries have varied over time and are related to the location, degree of vascular injury, presence of thrombosis or infection and involvement of nearby structures like named veins or nerves. We present a case of a superficial femoral artery (SFA) injury secondary to an osteochondroma and offer a review of the literature evaluating the trends on operative repairs and their association with the degree of vascular injury. Methods: A total of 112 publications were found and independently reviewed. Articles containing age, sex, presentation, size of the aneurysm and surgical technique for repair were included for evaluation. Mean follow up, use of anticoagulation, and whether there was associated trauma was also recorded if reported by the authors. Articles with insufficient reported variables were excluded. A total of 49 publications were selected for evaluation based on these criteria. The review of literature was performed through PubMed, MEDLINE, NCBI using the words "pseudoaneurysm", "superficial femoral artery", "popliteal artery", and "osteochondroma". Results: Young Males were the most prevalent group (79.4%) with a mean age of 21.4 years of age. The most common complaint at presentation was pain and a palpable mass (81%) with no history of trauma (51%). Popliteal aneurysms (85%) were the most common vascular injury while the average size of injury was 5 mm. Operative techniques included arterioplasty (30.6%), end to end anastomosis (20.4%), greater saphenous vein (GSV) patch (20.4%) GSV bypass (8.1%) GSV interposition graft (8.1%) and xenopericardial or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) patch (2%). Smaller arterial injuries (<5 mm) were most commonly managed with arterioplasty or end-to-end anastomosis. Conclusion: Vascular injuries secondary to osteochondromas are rare. High suspicion and prompt diagnosis are necessary to prevent long-term sequelae from neurovascular compromise. Smaller arterial defects appear to be best suitable for primary reconstruction either by arterioplasty or aneurysmectomy with end-to-end anastomosis. Ultimately, the surgical reconstruction needs to be guided in a case-by-case basis.
