The time from cardiac catheterization to cardiac surgery is not a risk factor for the development of postoperative acute kidney injury even in patients with other risk factors. Surgical intervention should not be delayed in emergency or urgent cases. The optimization of renal function seems to be the correct strategy in clinically stable patients with risk factors for acute kidney injury.

Osteochondroma is the most common benign tumor of the bone, seen mostly during adolescence. In the current study, we report a 19-year-old male patient with a two-week history of pain and swelling of the medial side of his right thigh just above the knee without any trauma. CT angiography revealed a popliteal artery pseudoaneurysm and its close relationship with a femoral osteochondroma. Surgical repair consisted of repair of pseudoaneurysm and removal of osteochondroma. In young patients, a non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm of distal femoral artery may be a complication of an osteochondroma and this treatable pathology should be looked for to prevent recurrence.
