ABSTRACT

Today, femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is one of the most common iatrogenic complications. There are many treatment variants, where non-invasive procedures are the most used; however, surgery remains an effective alternative. A patient with a diagnosis of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm following a cardiac catheterization by electrophysiological study is presented, who two months after procedure began with a volume increase in the right inguinal region, functional impotence and auscultation of a murmur. Excision of the pseudoaneurysm and repair of the femoral artery with vascular prosthesis was performed. Eight months later, the patient underwent an evolutionary ultrasound, demonstrating the favorable evolution (normal flow and fully endothelized prosthesis).
