title: Femoral pseudoaneurysms.
abstract: Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms will continue to be a problem associated with arterial cannulation procedures. With the increasing trend toward minimally invasive procedures, vascular surgeons, as well as interventionalists will be performing more cannulation procedures; hence we will be more involved in the management of this complication more frequently. Treatment trends and efforts aimed at preventing iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms have evolved over the past decade. This article reviews the history and available literature on the subject, in conjunction with the experience of a center that performs over 10,000 cannulation procedures annually.
