Superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysms are rare and usually iatrogenic. We describe the case of a 27-year-old patient who presented a week after trauma with a piece of iron lodged in the middle third of the thigh, a pulsatile mass revealing a pseudoaneurysm of the superficial femoral artery. The patient underwent urgent surgery. We performed a direct suture of the arterial defect without using a venous graft. The postoperative course was uneventful.

“…Rupture of femoral pseudoaneurysms has been scarcely reported in the medical literature, either due to the rarity of the condition or the unwillingness to report a major iatrogenic complication. There has been a report of ruptured pseudoaneurysm after femoral arterial catheterization for continuous hemodynamic monitoring and multiple blood sampling, in a patient hospitalized in the intensive care unit [ 6 ], as well as a post-atherectomy superficial femoral artery pseudoaneurysm [ 7 ]. There have also been reports of ruptured femoral artery pseudoaneurysms, complicated with infection in drug addicts [ 8 - 10 ].…”

A pseudoaneurysm refers to a defect in the arterial wall, allowing communication of arterial blood with the adjacent extra-luminal space. Pseudoaneurysms result from traumatic arterial injury. With the increasing utilization of percutaneous arterial interventions, iatrogenic arterial injury has become the predominant cause of pseudoaneurysm formation. Rupture of the pseudoaneurysm comprises a vascular emergency. Clinical suspicion and imaging techniques are the cornerstones of timely diagnosis and appropriate management of the condition. Herein, we report the case of a 69 year-old woman who suffered a life-threatening profunda femoral artery pseudoaneurysm rupture after a routine cardiac catheterization, that was treated surgically.

Post-catheterization giant pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery: an delayed clinical presentation

et al. 2016

Post-catheterization pseudoaneurysm is most common vascular complications of cardiac and peripheral angiographic procedures. We report a 67-year-old female patient with giant (25 cmx25 cm) femoral artery pseudoaneurysm which gradually enlarged without rupture developed after catheterization in the periods of three years. She electively underwent to operation. Pseudoaneurysm pouch was evacuated and the bleeding focus from possible catheterization site was primarily repaired with polypropylene suture. Intraoperative or postoperative course was uncomplicated. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5. The interesting aspect of the presented case is that despite a wide pseudoaneurysm, it remains unruptured for several years.
