Abstract

Performing direct surgery for postoperative hemorrhage caused by intraperitoneal arterial injury is very difficult. We report herein the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed sudden right lower abdominal pain after numerous laparotomies and radiotherapy for advanced uterine cancer. A diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the right external iliac artery was made, and an emergency catheter embolization and femorofemoral bypass was successfully performed under local anesthesia. The patient was able to walk the next day. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a combined procedure in the literature.
