# Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to percutaneous femoral artery intervention: a case report

## TL;DR

A case report describes the successful open surgical treatment of a femoral artery pseudoaneurysm with infection and ischemia.

## Contribution

Presents a case where open surgery effectively managed a complex femoral artery pseudoaneurysm.

## Key findings

- The patient showed signs of ischemia and infection in the right groin.
- Open surgery combined with arterial bypass successfully treated the pseudoaneurysm.
- No postoperative extremity ischemia was observed following the procedure.

## Abstract

The clinical presentation, interventional strategy, and outcomes of a single case of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (FAP) were analysed. There was clear evidence of ischemia and infection in the right groin. The patient was successfully treated with open surgery combined with arterial bypass. The FAP was successfully removed, and no postoperative extremity ischemia was observed. Open surgery could be an effective method for managing FAP, with or without infection.
