Abstract 

Introduction

We report the first case of a ruptured profunda femoris artery (PFA) aneurysm managed successfully with an endovascular stent graft.

Report

An 87-year-old man presented with pain and pulsatile swelling on his thigh from a ruptured large saccular aneurysm arising from the mid PFA. The aneurysm was successfully excluded with an endovascular stent graft. The patient made a good recovery post procedure.

Discussion

This case demonstrates that PFA aneurysms, when ruptured, can be managed successfully by endovascular stent graft in the high risk patient.
