Delayed rupture of a pseudoaneurysm represents an extremely rare and life-threatening complication of endovascular, radiographic, and cardiac procedures. We discuss a case of a 69-year-old man with delayed rupture of a known left common femoral artery pseudoaneurysm, highlighting the importance of rapid recognition, to include the use of point of care ultrasound, if available. Computed tomographic angiography allows for better anatomic characterization and aids in operative planning, which is the mainstay of treatment. However, surgical repair in ruptured pseudoaneurysms remains a high-risk procedure.
假性动脉瘤延迟破裂是血管内、放射影像学及心脏手术极为罕见且危及生命的并发症。我们讨论一例69岁男性已知左股总动脉假性动脉瘤延迟破裂的病例,强调快速识别的重要性,包括在有条件时使用床旁超声。计算机断层血管造影有助于更好地进行解剖学特征分析并辅助手术规划,手术规划是治疗的主要手段。然而,破裂假性动脉瘤的手术修复仍是高风险手术。
