Abstract
We report the case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with a one-month history of a pulsatile mass, with no antecedent trauma or intervention. Imaging showed a large pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of the distal portion of the left superficial femoral artery. The PSA was treated successfully with endovascular placement of covered stents.

Operative repair has been largely replaced by image-guided occlusion for iatrogenic femoral PSAs.[2]

Imaging showed a large pseudoaneurysm (PSA) of the distal portion of the left superficial femoral artery. PSAs can be asymptomatic or manifest as a pulsatile mass or thrill They rupture leading to a life-threatening shock.[1] Operative repair has been largely replaced by image-guided occlusion for iatrogenic femoral PSAs.[2] Spontaneous femoral PSAs are extremely rare, and only a few cases have been described in medical literature. We report a large spontaneous PSA of the distal part of a superficial femoral artery (SFA) which was successfully treated with covered stents
