Duplication of the superficial femoral artery

Vascular. 2010 Sep-Oct;18(5):292-3. doi: 10.2310/6670.2010.00020.

Abstract

A computed tomographic angiogram for pseudoaneurysm after previous puncture in the groin showed duplication of the superficial femoral artery in a 52-year-old man without symptoms or signs of arterial insufficiency. It is doubtful whether this very rare anatomic variant has clinical relevance, but it should be known by vascular specialists.
