True aneurysms of the femoral artery are a rare clinical problem and are generally published as a case report in the literature. Its presentation can be varied, and although most are asymptomatic, they may present with any of its complications. We present the case of a 85 years old patient with ruptured aneurysm of the left common femoral artery, who was admitted to the emergency room and underwent surgery successfully.

Keywords : vessels; aneurysm; peripheral vascular disease.
