title: Common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm following inguinal hernia repair--a case report and literature review.
abstract: The authors report a patient presented with a ruptured infected iliac artery pseudoaneurysm 2 weeks after ipsilateral inguinal hernia repair. Pseudoaneurysms that occur because of infection develop rapidly and mandate ligation of the affected artery and extraanatomic bypass. Noninfected pseudoaneurysms are usually discovered incidentally and may be managed with either endovascular or standard surgical techniques. A percutaneously placed aortic occlusion balloon may prevent exsanguination, when used as an adjunct to surgical repair in cases of ruptured pseudoaneurysm.
