Common femoral artery (CFA) aneurysms are rare with an unknown exact incidence and often found in elderly males with chronic diseases. Early recommendations are to repair aneurysms with a maximum diameter of ≥2.5cm. We present the case of a 37-year-old male with a right CFA aneurysm. Open surgical repair (OSR) consisting of aneurysmectomy and reconstruction of the femoral artery with a bifurcated prosthetic graft was applied. Our study details this case and thoroughly reviews on the treatment of femoral artery aneurysms in the literature. OSR and vascular reconstruction with interposition prosthetic graft were durable and associated with favorable outcomes.
