چکیده
A 96-year-old male presented with left lower extremity pain, swelling, and vascular compromise.

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.
