[Clinical analysis of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms].
The surgical management of 9 patients with false aneurysms resulting from iatrogenic injury was reviewed. The principal symptoms were local pain in 8 patients, neuralgia syndrome in 3, and rupture in 2. In the series, swelling or pulsatile mass was present in 7 patients. Only 5 patients were noted to have an artery bruit at the time of examination. Of these patients, 6 were diagnosed clearly before operation and all of the pseudoaneurysms were confirmed surgically. Surgical treatment was carries out in 8 patients including emergency operation in 3. Postoperative complications were rather high (25%), but fortunately, there was no operative mortality in this series. The etiological diagnostic method and the principles of surgical management were discussed.
