Case contributed by:
Dr Omar Bashir
Presentation:
50 year old female with groin swelling and pain following coronary angioplasty.
Patient Data:
Age: 50
Gender: Female
Race: Caucasian
From the case:
Common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm
Modality:
CT
Axial contrast enhanced CT in arterial phase demonstrates a 2.5 cm pseudoaneurysm arising from the right common femoral artery. There is a associated with a large retroperitoneal haematoma displacing the urinary bladder to the left. Incidentally there a large right ovarian cyst. Hyperdense material in the gallbladder indicates vicarious excretion of contrast (from the previous coronary angioplasty procedure)
Case Discussion:
This patient developed a false aneursym at the puncture site ie right common femoral artery. The puncture site is suprainguinal and perhaps post procedure compression was suboptimal contributing to this complication.
