Pseudoaneurysm of arteria profunda femoris following the surgery of proksimal femur fracture: a case report
Abstract :
Pseudoaneurysm of arteria profunda femoris after the hip fracture is a very rare complication. The mechanism of pseudoaneursym formation may be traumatic, iatrogenic or infective injury to the arterial wall. Pseudoaneurysms of arteria profunda femoris usually give late symtomps such as persistent hip pain, thigh swelling, presence of a pulsatile mass and unexplained anemia that may suggest the diagnosis. Surgical repair, transcatheter embolization, thrombin injection under duplex imaging guidance is the treatment options for pseudoaneurysm. Angiography is a well known technique for accurate diagnosis and may be the first choice for the minimal invasive treatment. We present a case of a pseudoaneurysm of arteria profunda femoris following osteosynthesis of a proksimal femur fracture. Pseudoaneurysm was successfully treated by percutaneous placement of embolization coils.
