Endovascular repair of a pseudo-aneurysm of the common femoral artery after revision total hip arthroplasty

Abstract

Vascular injuries with acute arterial haemorrhage are rare but the infrequency of these complications may make their diagnosis and treatment challenging for surgeons unfamiliar with their management. In the past, surgery or coil embolisation has been used to treat these lesions; we describe the case of a pseudo-aneurysm of the common femoral artery developed during a total hip arthroplasty, promptly managed with an endovascular stent graft.
