Management of Iatrogenic Rupture of Profunda Femoris Artery after Femoral Fracture Fixation with Stent Graft Implantation

Management of Iatrogenic Rupture of Profunda Femoris Artery after Femoral Fracture Fixation with Stent Graft Implantation

Show other versions (1)

Vascular injuries with acute or chronic arterial hemorrhage after femoral shaft fractures are a rare but a life-threateningcomplication. We observed a case of iatrogenic rupture of the profunda femoris artery after the internal fixation of a femoralshaft fracture. The pseudoaneurysm, presenting with...
