Fig. 1 Patient seen 15 days after a “missed” groin injection. The accompanying mass was nonpulsatile, a bruit was present, and pedal pulses were absent. A large infected femoral pseudoaneurysm is shown. Although the SFA and PFA were normal, adequate debridement required ligation of the EIA at its origin and oversewing of the CFA bifurcation. The infected hematoma extended deep into the iliac fossa, destroyed the psoas muscle, and produced irreversible local nerve damage.

Fig. 3 A femoral pseudoaneurysm produced an arteriovenous fistula in the presence of an occluded common femoral vein. A bruit and thrill was present. Venous hypertension began as refractory edema and a nonhealing pretibial ulcer. After aneurysm resection, the ulcer healed rapidly.
