False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy
Authors
Abstract:
False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

We report the case of a 79-year-old patient who presented with a femoral iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of delayed and unusual onset with immediately life-threatening massive bleeding. Ultrasound is the method of choice for the diagnosis of pseudo aneurysm. If there is not spontaneous closure, ultrasound-guided compression repair, minimally invasive percutaneous treatments, and surgical repair are t...
full textFalse aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery, a rare complication of a proximal femoral fracture.
The authors describe a false aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery caused by a bony fragment from the lesser trochanter after a proximal femoral fracture. False aneurysm as a complication of a hip fracture is rare; however it is essential to consider the possibility, more even so if there is inexplicable persisting pain after internal fixation. Symptoms are sometimes diffi-cult to judge, as t...
