A rare case of femoral artery saccular aneurysm caused by tuberculosis in a male patient: A case report and review of literature

Abstract

Patients with femoral artery aneurysms are at high risk of rupture and death by exsanguination. It can be a severe complication of tuberculosis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Although this was a very rare case, all surgeons must be aware. A combination of medical and surgical intervention is imperative. Careful clinical care postoperatively is mandatory because of the risk of repetitive anastomotic aneurysms and recurrent aneurysms in another vessel.
