Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms of the deep femoral artery are uncommon and occur as a late complication of various traumas. Usually associated with femoral fractures, We report two cases of profunda femoris artery injury which presented as false aneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma. Because of its insidious onset, awareness and careful follow-up are the key issues for the early diagnosis.

Keywords: Deep femoral artery; Femoro-femoral arteriovenous fistula; Pseudoaneurysm.
