AB The  Greek  physician  Galen  first  described  superficial  false  aneurysms  arising  from  venisection  in  the  antecubital  fossa  and  in  gladiators  injured  during  battle  in  the  second  century  AD.1  Antyllos,  during  the  same  time  period,  distinguished  between  true  and  false  aneurysms  and  attempted  surgical  treatment  with  proximal  and  distal  ligation,  opening  of  the  aneurysmal  sac,  and  removal  of  its  contents.2
