“Beyond saving lives”: Current perspectives of interventional radiology in trauma

Figure 18 Pseudoaneurysm from right profunda femoris artery: 21-year-old male with stab injury. A: DSA showed a large PsA arising from right profunda femoris artery with no distal flow, likely vascular transection with pseudoaneurysm of proximal end; B: As guidewire could not be negotiated across the pseudoaneurysm due to possible discontinuity, proximal coil embolization (arrow) was done. Post embolization angiography showed complete exclusion of pseudoaneurysm. Note the presence of collaterals (curved arrow) along the course of profunda femoris artery. PsA: Pseudoaneurysm; DSA: Digital subtraction angiography.
