False aneurysm treated by a combined approach of coil embolization and autologous vascular grafting.
A serious complication associated with vascular surgery is active or potential hemorrhage due to infected pseudoaneurysm. In two cases of false aneurysm, embolization with the Gianturco-Anderson-Wallace (GAW) coils was performed and blood supply was preserved by autologous vascular grafts, thereby emphasizing the feasibility of a combined approach in patient management.
