BACKGROUND Focal peripheral arterial aneurysms, though rare, have a relatively high association with coexisting synchronous or metachronous aneurysms. While most are asymptomatic at presentation, there is concern for aneurysm thrombosis, embolization, or rupture, which can lead to acute limb ischemia or even limb loss. These complications require early intervention with either open or endovascular surgery, oftentimes staged due to complexity. METHOD We describe a case of a 65-year-old male presenting with a symptomatic common femoral artery aneurysm with a simultaneous infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, requiring a hybrid endovascular and open approach for operative repair due to the size and characteristics of his aneurysms. DISCUSSION As the consensus for the management of synchronous/metachronous aneurysms is to stage the procedures, it is important to report scenarios where a single hybrid operation was technically feasible and resulted in good patient outcomes. CONCLUSION This report supports the role of utilizing multiple hybrid operative techniques to best repair the respective aneurysm in a single operation, with favorable patient outcomes.
