Abstract not available. Introduction provided instead.
Orthopedic procedures like joint arthroplasty and joint arthroscopy can lead to unrecognized arterial injuries that later cause the formation of pseudoaneurysms. Here we present 5 cases of patients who underwent successful endovascular management of pseudoaneurysms that developed after lower limb joint arthroplasty or arthroscopy.
