Summary

A monkey developed a pseudoaneurysm after blood collection, causing lameness. Surgical repair of the femoral artery defect successfully treated the condition, resolving the monkey's symptoms.

Peripheral vascular disease intervention in patients with end-stage renal disease: few complications in those treated with peritoneal dialysis.

Southern medical journal·2001

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Comparative Pathology
  • Primate Medicine

Background:

  • Pseudoaneurysms can arise as iatrogenic complications following medical procedures.
  • Vascular access in non-human primates requires careful technique to prevent injury.

Observation:

  • A monkey presented with progressive lameness and muscle atrophy.
  • Imaging revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the femoral artery.
  • The pseudoaneurysm was attributed to trauma during routine blood collection.

Findings:

  • The femoral artery damage led to hematoma formation.
  • The hematoma organized, encapsulated, and formed a vascular communication, characteristic of a pseudoaneurysm.
  • Surgical intervention addressed the arterial defect.

Implications:

  • Highlights the risk of vascular injury during routine blood collection in primates.
  • Demonstrates the efficacy of surgical correction for pseudoaneurysms in veterinary patients.
  • Informs best practices for vascular access in non-human primate research and care.
