Abstract
A 70-year-old woman presented with a large femoropopliteal aneurysm. A covered nitinol stent was implanted successfully and complete exclusion of the aneurysm was achieved. At follow-up 5 months later the stent was still patent and the patient was free of symptoms. However, moderate stenosis was seen at the proximal end of the stent.
