Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Toxicology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Parenteral drug abuse, particularly injectable drug use, is increasing in India.
  • Pseudoaneurysms are a known but uncommon complication of arterial procedures and drug abuse.

Observation:

  • This report details five cases of pseudoaneurysm formation resulting from intra-arterial drug abuse.
  • These cases highlight a specific risk associated with the current rise in injectable drug use.

Findings:

  • Pseudoaneurysm development is a significant risk in individuals abusing injectable drugs intra-arterially.
  • The incidence of this complication appears to be rising alongside the increase in drug abuse.

Implications:

  • Early clinical recognition of pseudoaneurysms in parenteral drug abusers is essential.
