A Case of Profunda Femoris Artery Pseudoaneurysm Treated With Catheterization and Surgical Hematoma Removal
2023
Overview
A pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery (PFA) is a rare disease induced by femoral trauma, proximal femoral fracture, or iatrogenic causes associated with orthopaedic surgery. Recently, transcatheter arterial embolism was reported as an effective treatment for profunda femoris artery pseudoaneurysm. This report presents the case of an 85-year-old male who underwent artificial head replacement for a left femoral neck fracture and was hospitalized with a peri-stem fracture four years later. Conservative treatment was conducted with a brace, though the swelling and pain in his left thigh increased one week after his hospital admission. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) led to a diagnosis of a left profunda femoris artery pseudoaneurysm, and the patient underwent emergency transcatheter arterial embolism and surgical hematoma removal. Since the emergency surgery, the patient's course has been good, and he has been undergoing rehabilitation.A pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery (PFA) is a rare disease induced by femoral trauma, proximal femoral fracture, or iatrogenic causes associated with orthopaedic surgery.
