Abstrakt		The incidence of arterial complications following femoral artery cannulation is low; however, with the increasing number of cardiac diagnostic and interventional procedures, vascular surgeons are being confronted with an increasing number of pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas. Swelling and a painful pulsating groin masse are the most frequent presenting symptoms of a common femoral artery false aneurysm. We present the cases of 4 patients who had the unusual finding of a profunda femoral artery pseudoaneurysm after they had undergone cardiac catheterization or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The only clinical sign of these patients was femoral neuropathy or neuropalsy caused by femoral nerve compression. Surgical repair of the pseudoaneurysm was successful in all patients. We discuss the reasons for this unusual finding and rare location for a pseudoaneurysm.
