Iatrogenic External Pudendal Artery Pseudoaneurysm with a Communicating Arteriovenous Fistula-A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Pitfall

Mini‐ Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality in evaluation of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms (PAs). This case illustrates that when a PA originating from the external pudendal artery, a side branch of the common femoral artery, is combined with a communicating arteriovenous fistula the diagnosis,...

More Information
Summary:Mini‐ Ultrasound is the preferred imaging modality in evaluation of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms (PAs). This case illustrates that when a PA originating from the external pudendal artery, a side branch of the common femoral artery, is combined with a communicating arteriovenous fistula the diagnosis, having important therapeutic implications, may be misinterpreted by ultrasound.
