Post-catheterization
pseudoaneurysm is most common vascular complication of cardiac and peripheral
angiographic procedures. We report a 67-year-old female patient with giant (25
cmx25 cm) femoral artery pseudoaneurysm which gradually enlarged without
rupture developed after catheterization in the periods of three years. She
electively underwent to operation. Pseudoaneurysm pouch was evacuated and the
bleeding focus from possible catheterization site was primarily repaired with
polypropylene suture. Intraoperative or postoperative course was uncomplicated.
The patient was discharged on postoperative day 5. The interesting aspect of
the presented case is that despite a wide pseudoaneurysm, it remains unruptured
for several years.
