Abstract
MORENO, Julián and CORSO, Claudia. True anneurysm of the femoral artery: Case report. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2013, vol.20, n.1, pp.43-47. ISSN 0120-5633.
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.
