[en] A 73-year-old man was admitted for rupture of an atherosclerotic aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery associated to popliteal and bilateral axillary arteries aneurysms. The aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery was developed between the branches of the crural nerves. Considering the patency of the superficial femoral artery and of the leg arterie, and to avoid injury to the crural nerve, no reconstruction of the profunda femoris was attempted. The aneurysm was ligated proximally and buttress sutures were placed on the site of rupture to achieve thrombosis of the aneurysms. Most of the published cases of aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery are false aneurysms developed after various trauma. Atherosclerotic aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery is a rare lesion and rupture is exceptional.
