Abstract
A case of pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery after a total hip arthroplasty is reported. A 48-year-old man had undergone a total left hip arthroplasty 5 years previously. Acute arterial occlusion (AAO) of the left lower extremity occurred 3 times. AAO was due to pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery, which was detected by rotating digital subtraction angiography (DAS). Aneurysmectomy and reconstruction were carried out. Rotating DSA was useful for the diagnosis of this unusual case of pseudoaneurysm of the external iliac artery after a total hip arthroplasty is unusual.
