A true aneurysm of the deep femoral artery is very rare among peripheral aneurysms because of its anatomical position and characteristics of wall tissue. An early operation is mandatory because it has a tendency to become a large size and to rupture. During the last eight years, we experienced two cases. One ruptured case underwent only resection of aneurysm and another case received an additional reconstruction of deep femoral artery using saphenous vein graft. Both of them are doing well postoperatively. In this paper, a review of 24 cases including these two in Japanese literature was disscused.
