Profunda Femoris XXXX following Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision.

@entity455 @entity572 @entity1317 @entity282 @entity2849
@entity1317 following @entity572 ( @entity572 ) are very rare, with @entity2849 being a small subset. We report a case of profunda femoris artery (PFA) @entity2849 in a 61-year-old male following a posterior approach revision left @entity572 . Presentation involved continued blood transfusion requirements several weeks postoperatively. Diagnosis of the pseduoaneurysm was made by contrast CT of the lower extremity, with confirmation via IR angiography. Successful embolization was achieved with selective coiling and Gelfoam. Presenting complaints of such complications are often vague and therefore lead to delayed diagnosis. Causes of such complications are not completely understood, particularly with PFA injuries in @entity572 . Possible mechanisms are discussed in this paper. @entity455 following @entity572 can be difficult to diagnose. High suspicion in the setting of continued @entity282 or bleeding may allow prompt diagnosis and avoidance of serious limb-threatening complications.
