Abstract:
We report a case of a 42 year old female patient who presented with a large femoral pseudoaneurysm 18 days after femoral catheterization, for percutaneous coronary intervention, with life threatening bleeding. Diagnosis of the condition was made by ultra sound examination and CT angiogram of femoral vessels. The method of management for pseudoaneurysm is local ultrasound guided compression if the neck is amenable to compression, minimally invasive percutaneous treatment and surgical repair if the other methods fail.
