[Pseudo-rupture of the femoral artery following balloon angioplasty].
Following PTA of a superficial femoral artery stenosis, painful swelling of the vastus medialis muscle occurred at mobilization of the patient 24 hours after the intervention. Duplex sonography and angiography revealed bleeding from a muscular branch of the SFA. The complication was successfully treated by embolization.
