چکیده
True aneurysms of the profunda femoris artery are rare and are much less common than false aneurysms of this vessel. 1 Profunda artery aneurysms can affect either the main t runk of the artery or its branch~es. Unlike aneurysms of the common femoral artery they are frequently symptomatic. We report a case of bilateral synchronous profunda artery aneurysms. On one side the aneurysm was symptomatic, producing distal embolisation to the thigh.
