title: Pseudoaneurysm of inferior epigastric artery following abdominal paracentesis.
abstract: We report a 31-year-old man with chronic renal failure and ascites who developed severe abdominal pain and a local non-pulsatile mass after therapeutic paracentesis. Doppler study confirmed a pseudoaneurysm of the right inferior epigastric artery. The patient recovered after the artery was ligated and the aneurysm excised.
