[Delayed pseudoaneurysm of deep femoral artery after surgical intervention of hip fracture. Presentation of a case]. / Seudoaneurisma diferido de arteria femoral profunda tras intervención quirúrgica de fractura de cadera. A propósito de un caso.

The diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery as a late complication after orthopaedic surgery is uncommon. The causes of the injury of the artery may be due to the intervention technique itself (mainly the orthopaedic materials or the use of clips), and less frequently by fragments displaced by the trochanter. A case of pseudoaneurysm of the deep femoral artery by a less displaced trochanter fragment is presented in this article, showing how the different professionals interacted, and with the intervention of specialists in angioradiology to resolve it.
