Description
Summary:We report the rare case of a 68-year-old man with a bilateral deep femoral artery aneurysm. Right-sided rupture was treated via plug embolization of the right deep femoral artery and ligation. In the following year, Viabahn® stent grafts were placed in the left superficial femoral artery to relieve occlusion and in the left deep femoral artery to treat the left aneurysm. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.
