Abstract:
In the present report, we have described the case of a significantly delayed presentation of a pseudoaneurysm (PSA) and subsequent mass effect causing an acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The patient had presented with a mass in the right groin and edema of the right lower extremity prompting further imaging studies. The imaging studies demonstrated a superficial femoral artery PSA and an acute femoral vein DVT. Our patient had no history of recent trauma or femoral access procedures performed in the last ≥5 years. Surgical repair of the PSA was performed, and the DVT was managed with anticoagulation therapy.
