False aneurysm formation of the right common femoral artery: a rare complication of a Salmonella infection.
We present a case history of a patient admitted with a Salmonella infection of the lymph nodes in the right groin. After 5 days a false aneurysm of the right common femoral artery developed. The patient was successfully treated with an extra-anatomic (obturator) bypass, isolation of the aneurysm, and local as well as systemic antibiotic therapy.
