Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm

The femoral artery pseudoaneurysm consists of an outpouching of 1 or 2 vessel wall layers. On the other hand, a true aneurysm involves all 3 layers, including the intima, media, and adventitia. Clinically, it may present with pulsatile hematoma, pain, ecchymosis, or active extravasation. In chronic scenarios, once a fibrous capsule has been formed, it may present with a persistent flow communicating with the arterial lumen. This activity describes the causes, presentation, and pathophysiology of femoral aneurysms and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management.
