Abstract:
Infected pseudoaneurysm in drug addicts is a new pathology in our country. Total 48 patients were treated in the Cho Ray Hospital from July 1992 to August 1998. There were 46 men (95.8%) and 2 women (4.2%), with ages ranging from 23 to 49 years (mean 39.6 years). More than half of patients (60.4%) lives in big cities. 83.3% of them had a long history of drug abuse from 10 years to more than 20 years.
