Abstract:
Objective To study the management of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm caused by heroin (injection).Methods 11 cases of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm were treated. 4 cases presented with ruptured aneurysm and were treated emergently by direct ligation of the aneurysmal artery through a femoral incision. 2 cases (underwent) elective operation in which the iliac artery was initially exposed through an extraperitoneal (lower) (abdominal) incision to control bleeding, and then the aneurysmal artery was ligated through a femoral (incision).Results All of the operations were successful, and no gangrene of the affected limb occurred.(Conclusions) Arterial ligation for femoral artery pseudoaneurysm caused by heroin injection is simple and (effective). (Intraoperative) observation of distal arterial backflow,measurement of (arterial) pressure and (intraoperative) (arteriography) can improve the safety of the operation.
