MEDINA RODRIGUEZ, Abey et al. Giant para-anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after revascularization though aorto-bifemoral bypass grafting: Case report. CorSalud [online]. 2021, vol.13, n.1, pp. 104-108.  Epub Mar 01, 2021. ISSN 2078-7170.

Pseudoaneurysm is that pulsatile and encapsulated hematoma produced after the rupture of all vessel layers and contained by surrounding neighboring tissues. It is considered a late complication in aorto-iliac prosthetic surgery. We present a 72-year-old patient who underwent an aorto-bifemoral bypass grafting 13 years ago, and who was subsequently diagnosed with a para-anastomotic pseudoaneurysm that was allowed to evolve due to presenting several associated comorbidities. After two years, it was necessary to perform a surgical intervention due to the excessive growth of the swelling, and ischemic complication with skin necrosis. The appearance of a pseudoaneurysm is related to sex, prosthetic material as well as the time that elapses since the surgery. Ultrasound follow-up during the postoperative period is essential for an early identification of this complication.
