A 96-year-old male presented with left lower extremity pain, swelling, and vascular compromise. Computed tomographic angiography revealed an actively rupturing distal superficial femoral artery aneurysm. The patient underwent prompt aneurysm excision with graft interposition and had a successful postoperative outcome. Our case illustrates the critical role of imaging in establishing a definitive diagnosis and preventing mortality.
