[Femoral pseudoaneurysms in drug addicts]

Four cases of femoral pseudoaneurysms from substance abuse are presented. One patient, a 32 year-old women needed amputation (by disarticulation of the hip) after failed revascularization. Another patient had symptoms of claudication after triple ligation and resection without bypass grafting. The last two had an uneventful recovery: one after saphenous vein bypass, the other after simple resection and repair with a vein patch.
