- Abstract
Common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is a potentially serious complication of peripheral angiography. There have been few prior reports of simultaneous pseudoaneurysm in both common femoral arteries after percutaneous access. Here we report the case of a 58-year-old male patient who presented with phlegmon or abscess a few days after bilateral femoral access, after which newly developed bilateral femoral pseudoaneurysm with wide neck was observed on CT angiography 2 months after infection treatment. Because the patient refused surgery for pseudoaneurysm, a stent-graft was inserted in the left side, and percutaneous thrombin injection under US guidance with balloon occlusion was performed for the right side. Most pseudoaneurysms occur immediately after the causative procedure. However, there have been some cases in which pseudoaneurysms may occur several weeks or months later; it is therefore necessary to check the risk factors and to carefully observe the hemostasis site.
