Profunda femoris artery aneurysms (PFAAs) are rare because of the histo-anatomical characteristics of the profunda femoris arteries. We present a case of simultaneous PFAA and common femoral artery aneurysm (CFAA) incidentally detected on computed tomography in a 58-year-old man with diverticular bleeding. Images revealed a 37-mm right PFAA and a 24-mm right CFAA. According to the report, PFAAs >20 mm are a surgical indication, and surgery should be decided based on the patient's general condition. We resected the aneurysms and reconstructed the arteries using vascular prostheses. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged 8 days postoperatively.

Introduction: Internal iliac artery aneurysms (IIAAs) are an uncommon but clinically significant vascular condition that can lead to life-threatening complications, such as rupture and endoleaks, following endovascular repair. Endoleaks particularly type IIa, occur when there is retrograde flow into the aneurysm sac from collateral vessels, and their presence can jeopardize the success of repair procedures. This case report illustrates a rare occurrence of a type IIa endoleak attributed to retrograde filling from the profunda femoris artery, providing insights into the diagnostic complexities and management of IIAAs.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated three-year outcomes of endovascular treatment (EVT) for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with severe calcified lesions in the common femoral artery (CFA), using data from the Duesseldorf PTA Registry.
- A total of 150 patients were analyzed, with 66 undergoing rotational excisional atherectomy (REA) followed by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty, and 84 receiving DCB alone; the procedural success rate was high at 97%.
- Findings indicated that EVT is safe and effective, showing high primary and secondary patency rates, low major adverse limb events (MALEs), and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after three years, suggesting that RE

Profunda femoris artery aneurysms are extremely rare, and strongly associated with multiple synchronous or asynchronous aneurysms. In the literature, 2 types of the profunda femoris artery aneurysms were described. Pseudoaneurysms of the profunda femoris artery are mostly iatrogenic through fractures, catheterization, orthopedic injury, blunt trauma, or penetrating trauma.
