Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm and Sudden Death

Abstract: Pseudoaneurysm formation may be a late complication of vascular grafting. A case of sudden death in an 83-year-old woman with a previous aortobifemoral bypass graft is reported that was due to spontaneous hemorrhage from a pseudoaneurysm of the graft site that had eroded through the overlying skin and subcutaneous tissues. Pseudoaneuryms do not have to be of a particularly large size for rupture to occur. Social isolation and age-related cognitive impairment may delay treatment in older individuals resulting i… Show more

“…However, it is important to view pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) as extravascular hematomas confined by reactive connective tissue. The hematoma surrounding the vessel, known as the “sac,” is in communication with the vessel lumen through a small collar called the “neck,” which permits the flow of blood from the vessel lumen into the hematoma ( 2 ) Numerous risk factors associated with the development of pseudoaneurysms (PSAs) have been identified, including female sex, hypertension, smoking etc.…”

“…Additionally, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is also recognized as a risk factor due to its impact on elastosis and degeneration of the vessel wall's connective tissue. Furthermore, COPD may contribute to diffuse atherosclerosis, leading to the formation of plaques that can erode the inner lamina and ultimately result in the formation of PSA ( 2 , 3 ).…”
