False aneurysm of perforating branch of the deep femoral artery—Report of two cases

Abstract: HighlightsPseudoaneurysms of the deep femoral artery are uncommon and occur as a late complication of various traumas.We report two cases of profunda femoris artery injury which presented as false aneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma.As these cases illustrate, the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of deep femoral artery following trauma and orthopedic procedures requires awareness and a high index of suspicion.

“…Only a few cases have been reported in the literature, analyzing a total of 131 cases of arterial PSAs and concluding that arteriography is the investigation of choice to confirm the diagnosis, while good options for treatment are embolization for small branch PSAs or stent grafts for PSAs originating from arterial trunks (as in the present case) 7 . Alternatively, surgical ligation or repair of PSAs is still an option 6, 7. This is the treatment of choice in the presence of rupture, limb ischemia, or distal embolization 3 .…”

“…Pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery has been reported occasionally after external injury to the thigh and orthopedic surgery of the femur [1,2]. Rarely, a spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery has developed without a clear history of trauma or orthopedic surgery of the femur under special conditions [3,4].…”
