title: Pseudoaneurysm of the descending genicular artery after arthroscopic meniscectomy: report of a case.
abstract: Vascular injuries in the arthroscopic meniscectomy of the knee are uncommon. A case of pseudoaneurysm of the descending genicular artery in a 39-year-old man, after medial arthroscopic meniscectomy, is reported. The pseudoaneurysm was simple to diagnose with computed tomographic scan and angiography, and treatment was successful surgical resection.
