Abstract
A seventy-three-year-old female presented with acute left-lower limb ischemia associated with groin swelling, one year following the resolution of an infected left-Common Femoral Artery (CFA) Pseudoaneurysm. Ultrasound Scan of the left-groin revealed Common Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm. CT angiography confirmed the presence of the pseudoaneurysm with surrounding cystic swelling associated with multiple air pockets and inflammatory changes suggestive of infected pseudoaneurysm. The patient was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and underwent a left ilio-popliteal (obturator) bypass in addition to debridement of left-groin infected pseudoaneurysm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
