Kane D, Zouizra Z, Son M, Benbakh S, Boumzebra D. An unusual cause of femoral pseudoaneurysm. Int J Case Rep Images 2021;12:101204Z01DK2021.ABSTRACT
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.
Keywords: Femoral artery, Pseudoaneurysm, Rare mechanism
