Ultrasound-guided compression and thrombin injections are reliable for the management of small and medium-sized false aneurysms. However, owing to technical limitations, large false aneurysms often necessitate surgical intervention, which is associated with significant postoperative morbidity and mortality. Endovascular coil embolization is an evolving minimally invasive technique that can be used as a safe option for large false femoral aneurysms. We report our experience with 2 cases of large false femoral aneurysms treated by using coils to occlude the aneurysm's feeding tract successfully.
