Abstract
The majority of arterial pseudoaneurysms treated in our department of vascular surgery are consequences of catheter-associated medical procedures and located in the groin region. Clinical signs, combined with the recent history of a percutaneous intervention, ensure quick diagnosis and therapy. However, pseudoaneurysms can develop after any artery of the body is injured. No consensus on the therapeutic strategy is achieved because of the rare nature of this injury. This study provided an overview of the methods described in previous studies and contributions to their clinical experience.
A case of a young man whose injury was not recognized immediately and who presented months after the accident with a pseudoaneurysm of unusual location and size was reported. Sonographic diagnosis was confirmed through computed tomography angiography, and open surgical repair was performed with satisfactory results.
Conclusion. This case is a reminder that seemingly minor accidents can cause arterial injury, and patients should be carefully examined to avoid delayed diagnosis and therapy.
