Abstract
- We report a massive infected pseudoaneurysm of the right external iliac artery in the setting of Girdlestone pseudoarthroplasty (GSA) for chronic infection. Around the time of her GSA, the patient underwent cardiac catheterization with resultant pseudoaneurysm formation. Infection was likely due to spread from her previous chronic infection. Delay in presentation occurred due to attribution of her symptoms to her GSA. The patient underwent ligation of the right external iliac artery and hip disarticulation and was discharged on antibiotics. At follow-up, she had significantly reduced pain. Although vascular complications from orthopedic procedures are well described, this case seems to have been caused by secondary infection of her iatrogenic external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm.<br /> (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
