Mortality and morbidity in children caused by falling televisions: a retrospective analysis of 71 cases

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: Femoral artery pseudoaneurysm following cardiac catheterization is a serious groin complication requiring careful assessment and prompt intervention. The risk of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm is estimated at 0.6 to 17% following diagnostic and interventional procedures. The clinical use of bedside ultrasonography as part of the physical examination by attending emergency physicians has increased significantly over recent years. Bedside emergency department ultrasonography provides the clinician with critical information noninvasively, rapidly determining various anatomical structures. We present the case of a patient with femoral artery pseudoaneurysm detected by bedside emergency department ultrasonography secondary to angiographic catheterization.
