Deep femoral artery branch pseudoaneurysm after orthopedic procedure requiring surgical treatment: a case report

Jalalludin Khoshnevis et al. Trauma Mon. 2012 Summer.

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms (PSA) of deep femoral artery (DFA) have been reported following penetrating and blunt trauma to the thigh and orthopedic procedures of the proximal femur. We describe a case of pseudoaneurysm of DFA as a late complication of limb trauma which was confirmed by exploration in an urgent surgery. After two operations successful surgical repair was performed.

Keywords: Deep Artery; False; Ilizarov Technique; Pseudoaneurysm.
