Common femoral artery (CFA) aneuryms, superficial femoral artery (SFA) aneurysms and profound femoral artery (PFA) aneurysms are relatively rare and incidence rates are 80%, 15% and 5% respectively among the all femoral artery aneurysms and most of them are pseudoaneurysms. True aneurysms are often seen bilaterally (38%) and accompanying popliteal artery aneurysms (%27-44) or abdominal aorta aneurysms (%50-90). These aneuryms can be thrombose, embolize or rupture. Repair is indicated for symptomatic patients. Diameter and extent of the aneurysm are the main indicators for the surgical treatment. We present the successful menagement of a 67 year old male who was presented with left femoral artery aneurysm.Keywords : Atherosclerotic aneurysm, Femoral artery, True aneurysm
