Delayed rupture of false aneurysm following a femoral fracture

Delayed rupture of false aneurysm following a femoral fracture.

We report a case of a conservatively treated mid-shaft femora! fracture complicated by the rupture of a false aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery. Case report. An 83-year-old woman, who had had an Exeter total hip replacement three years earlier, fell and sustained a spiral fracture of her right femur, just below the tip of the prosthesis. In view of the presence of the implant, she was ...

False aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery following minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of a femoral shaft fracture.

We present the case of a 50-year-old man who developed a delayed progressive swelling over the medial aspect of his right thigh, six weeks following minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of a supracondylar femur fracture. Angiography showed a false aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery, caused by progressive displacement of a butterfly fragment. Open vascular repair was performed ...

False Aneurysm of the Common Femoral Artery in an Infant after a Phlebotomy

False Aneurysms are uncommon in the pediatric population. We report a case of false aneurysm of the common femoral artery (CFA) after accidental arterial puncture, during a phlebotomy for blood sample. The lesion was surgically resected and arterial continuity restored by end to end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful.

False aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery, a rare complication of a proximal femoral fracture.

The authors describe a false aneurysm of the profunda femoris artery caused by a bony fragment from the lesser trochanter after a proximal femoral fracture. False aneurysm as a complication of a hip fracture is rare; however it is essential to consider the possibility, more even so if there is inexplicable persisting pain after internal fixation. Symptoms are sometimes diffi-cult to judge, as t...
