Superficial femoral artery aneurysm is rare and usually occurs in elderly patients, often associated with peripheral or abdominal aortic aneurysms. In the reported case, the patient presented with a ruptured superficial femoral artery aneurysm associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. A successful femoropopliteal bypass was performed using a polytetrafluorethylene graft. Literature review shows that, despite the tendency for acute onset of the aneurysm, primarily with a rupture, surgical results are excellent.
