Iliac Pseudoaneurysm, Only a Manifestation With More Causes: A Case Report

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysm is due to a disruption in arterial wall continuity. It forms a sac that communicates with the vessel lumen and is surrounded by the compressed, surrounding tissues and not by the wall of the artery from which the lesion arises. Many causes can predispose to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm such as trauma, surgical procedures, anticoagulation. In our patient another important risk factor for the formation of a pseudoaneurysm is ADPKD (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) that can cause vascular complication. The mechanisms leading to the genesis of the pseudoaneurysms in our patient are unknown, but the clinicians should bear in mind when evaluating this type of patients that ADPKD may have a various range of systemic cardiovascular manifestation.

Pseudoaneurysm after arterial reconstruction in kidney transplant nephrectomy: A case report and literature review

“…Chronic rejection may also be a risk factor for pseudoaneurysm 3 . For our patient, underlying disease was also a risk factor for pseudoaneurysm, and patients with ADPKD are known to be prone to pseudoaneurysm during other common surgical procedures 8–10 . Table 2 lists the relevant studies identified following a PubMed search relating to VC after TN.…”

Pseudoaneurysms are common in VC, and the risk of mortality is high.…”
