Fig 1 Preoperative angiography shows the extended common femoral artery aneurysm (A) without bony landmarks and (B) with bony landmarks (arrows denote the proximal neck of the aneurysm). B, The position of the inguinal ligament is defined by a straight dashed line from the pubic tubercle to the anterior superior iliac spine.

Fig 2 A, Intraoperative photograph shows the extended common femoral artery aneurysm and the distal part of the second endograft after the femoral part of the aneurysm was opened. The arrow points to the balloon catheter used to occlude the proximal part of the first stent graft and achieve vascular control. B, End-to-end anastomoses were constructed between the distal part of the Dacron graft and the deep femoral artery (thin arrow) and between the distal part of the jump graft and the superficial femoral artery (thick arrow).
