Femoral pseudo aneurysm

A femoral pseudoaneurysm is a localized collection of blood that forms outside the femoral artery due to a disruption in the arterial wall, often resulting from trauma, surgical procedures, or catheterization. Unlike a true aneurysm, a pseudoaneurysm is contained by surrounding tissues rather than the arterial wall itself. Symptoms may include pulsatile mass, pain, and swelling in the groin area. Treatment typically involves ultrasound-guided compression, thrombin injection, or surgical repair, depending on the size and symptoms.
