“…Accurate diagnosis is difficult as this artery is located deep in the thigh. 4 Pseudoaneurysms occur due to disruption in continuity of arterial wall caused by trauma, surgery, or endovascular procedures. 5 The intermedullary nail used to treat trochanteric fractures can cause pseudoaneurysm after dislocation from the bone.…”

Introduction Traumatic pseudoaneurysms of deep femoral artery (DFA) are usually seen secondary to sports injuries, postendovascular procedures, trauma to thigh, or after orthopaedic interventions for femur fractures. They usually present as either a pulsatile mass or even as thigh compartment syndrome if not diagnosed early. Case Report We present a case of a 65-year-old male who was referred for thigh swelling with severe anemia. On angiographic evaluation, patient was diagnosed to have pseudoaneurysm of DFA branch with hematoma in the thigh. Patient underwent an emergency surgery in view of hemodyanamic instability and ligation of ruptured DFA branch pseudoaneurysm. Conclusion Pseudoaneurysms of the DFA are rare entity and can be asymptomatic or may present with active bleeding in the compartment on rupture. Both surgical and endovascular treatments are available options and mainly depend on the hemodyanamic condition of the patient.

“…The standard treatment of quadruple ligation of AVF was introduced by surgeons such as Halsted and Holman at the beginning of the twentieth century [ 2 , 4 , 5 ]. Subsequent advances increased the feasibility of immediate repair of acute arterial injuries: experiences in treating war injuries, the development of new vascular surgery techniques, and non-invasive investigation.…”

We describe a patient in whom a stab wound to the right supraclavicular fossa led to a subclavian artery false aneurysm and an arterio-venous fistula (AVF) between the right subclavian artery and the right internal jugular vein. The diagnosis was made clinically and with computerised tomographic angiography (CTA). Open vascular repair was successful. We postulate that this presentation was the result of the knife being inserted then partly withdrawn and reinserted at a different angle. This pattern of injury has been reported previously following central venous line insertion, but rarely following a stab injury.

“…DFA injuries may be overlooked due to delayed presentation and also because distal pulses are usually present. Accurate diagnosis is difficult as this artery is located deep in the thigh [17] . Pseudoaneurysms typically present late and signs such as persistent hip pain, thigh swelling, and the presence of a pulsatile mass and unexplained anaemia may suggest the diagnosis [3] .…”

HighlightsPseudoaneurysms of the deep femoral artery are uncommon and occur as a late complication of various traumas.We report two cases of profunda femoris artery injury which presented as false aneurysm secondary to penetrating trauma.As these cases illustrate, the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of deep femoral artery following trauma and orthopedic procedures requires awareness and a high index of suspicion.
