Summary:Truly isolated aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) are uncommon. The treatment options come from small case series and case reports. In the absence of definitive management guidelines, a revision of the available literature was carried out.

Both open and endovascular options are available, which will depend on many factors highlighted in this review. Open repair should be offered to fit patients.
