[False aneurysms after vascular surgery].
The time of development of false aneurysms following reconstructive vascular surgery is established in an attempt to rationalise the postoperative vascular control. During a period of 12 years, 51 false aneurysms were found in 40 patients after a total of 803 reconstructive vascular operations. Routine ultrasonic scanning revealed 34 cases of false aneurysms. During follow-up control, particular attention should be paid to patients who have genuine aneurysms already and patients with postoperative wound infection and prolonged leakage of serum from the wound. Follow-up control should probably be continued throughout life.
